Duplicate Content - what about product specifications?

Duplicate Content - what about product specifications?

I need some advice and assistance with some questions about duplicate content.

My first question is how do you deal with the issue of duplicate content when you need to give the specifications of a product? It is not always easy to re-write specs, especially when they get technical.

How do you personally deal with product specifications?

I have sometimes wanted to quote what someone has said and I have used the quote option on Wordpress.



I assumed that this was for using when you are quoting someone directly and you want Google not to see that as duplicate content. Is this correct or did I just make a silly assumption?
