. <\/span><\/p>\nTitle 37 (The code of federal regulations, patents, trademarks, and copyrights).<\/span><\/p>\nA non-provisional draft, as stipulated by the ISPTO contains 13 sections while a provisional one contains 6 sections. An understanding of all the procedures involved will supplement the legal advice you get from your attorney.<\/span><\/p>\nThe Process in Drafting Patent Applications<\/b><\/h2>\n
The early stages will require you to liaise with your attorney and the draftsman as follows;<\/span><\/p>\nThe Invention Disclosure Contract<\/b><\/h3>\n
You as the inventor will complete an invention disclosure contact provided by your attorney. The completion of this document will allow you to explain to your attorney what your invention is about.<\/span><\/p>\nHave a detailed and exhaustive explanation to ensure your attorney understands all there is to know. Your attorney will now start drafting the patent application beginning with the draft claims.<\/span><\/p>\nThe Making of Drawings<\/b><\/h3>\n
Once you capture the invention’s scope in the draft claims, drawings come into play. Bringing a draftsman on board to make several drawings to further explain what the invention is about is critical.<\/span><\/p>\nThe second purpose of the drawings is to distinguish your invention from any other existing ones. You need several extra drawings to display the distinctions that exist between the inventions.<\/span><\/p>\nNecessary Changes<\/b><\/h3>\n
Deliberations with your attorney and draftsman could lead to making some changes to the scope of the claims. The changes are more often than not necessitated by two reasons.<\/span><\/p>\nOne could be a need to create more distinctions between your inventions and other existing ones. The change could also be the result of an expanded understanding of the invention’s utilities.<\/span><\/p>\nWriting the Patent Description and Abstract<\/b><\/h2>\n
The patent description comes immediately after the draftsman makes the drawings and all other necessary changes dealt with. The description outlines every element of patent claims in detail.<\/span><\/p>\nAn abstract contains a listing of all the key elements of your invention. All elements need a concise description and together serve as a summary.<\/span><\/p>\nWriting the abstract requires that you use language that is as simple as possible. What follows next is the review process.<\/span><\/p>\nThe Importance of Clear Writing<\/b><\/h2>\n
You should strive to use language tersely and economically while writing the application. The goal here is to get the message across in the clearest way possible.<\/span><\/p>\nThe fact that the summary paragraph needs to capture everything about the invention means the challenge for you is brevity. Don’t use sentences that are verbose and elaborate as they go against what you are trying to achieve here.<\/span><\/p>\nLong sentences and passive voice will not serve your cause either. What you should do instead is use choice phrases that articulate your ideas clearly.<\/span><\/p>\nHow Will an Application That Is Hard to Read Affect You?<\/b><\/h2>\n
An application that is difficult to read might lead to a denial or your application failing to receive a thorough allowance. An examiner\/ patent clerk would ideally understand your claim but the difficulty of understanding the language in your claim impedes their work. The time that should be spent patent searching will be spent trying to understand what you are saying.<\/span><\/p>\nPoor writing can also harm you during litigation. Unclear writing is open to multiple interpretations and will conveniently serve the interests of the other party to the case. Clear writing ensures there’s no confusion.<\/span><\/p>\nDo a Thorough Review<\/b><\/h2>\n
You and your lawyer should set a final meeting to go over the application one final time. A thorough review will iron out all language issues and fix other small errors.<\/span><\/p>\nBring up any concerns you might have for clarification by your attorney. The process of drafting patent applications is far from easy and it’s essential that you start on the right foot.<\/span><\/p>\nGet All the Help You Need<\/b><\/h2>\n
