When interpreting (chemical) patents I frequently come over indefinite
expressions like "aryl, heterocyclyl". I wonder if there is any common
consent that would enable to focus such expressions to a definite (though
large) sets of meaningful structures ? I am afraid that with the vague
approach I observe it would be possible to patent the whole Universe within
a single patent.

I would appreciate any link to where this matter is being discussed.
