My dad was an electrician, not an electrical engineer, but I don't see any relevance to what our fathers did for a living to the amendment before us, nor do I see, speaking as a lawyer, any suggestion that intellectual property rights would be relevant to this discussion. There are no diagrams and there are no schematics. This a contract, and there are no intellectual property rights in the wording of a contract.
