utility patents
(OP)
I am in the process of trying to design an electronic device and get it patented. I have no real knowledge of electronics or optoelectronics, which is the field it pertains to. Does ay one know how specific a patent must be in terms of its design?
In other words, must it be perfect, as though its ready for production? Exact circuitry, exact components, or would general terms like "a full frame CCD" suffice?

Bear in mind that many patents are issued which later turn out to be indefensible. You can spend a lot of time and money obtaining a patent which might later not have been worth it!
Good luck.
