What is ‘Quality Patent Writing’?
A patent writes up is not a new-paper article. A bad write up can never result in quality patent. In most situations, just after filing, a patent application is rejected by patent offices of the world’s leading economies on grounds of improper and inadequate disclosure. Once, a bad patent write is filed, it results in cost of filing, which cannot be recovered.
A quality patent draft should would be considered novel and patentable, if the draft clearly exam-plies various embodiments and is supported by adequate technical disclosure along with various drawings, the changes are high for securing a patent. Patent Drafts are prepared by technology experts under supervision of patent attorneys who has vast experience in assisting innovators in patent life-cycle.
A quality draft can not only assist in saving cost during examination process.
Statements of invention
The specification goes on to state in clear terms what the invention is. These statements should correspond to the claims (see later). Sometimes, the statement of invention will simply be words to the effect that “The invention is an apple juice powered engine as claimed in claim 1”. However, we usually prefer to restate the claim in full, because it makes the specification easier to read and understand without having to constantly refer to other pages.
Suppose we have discovered that lining the cylinders of our engines with a particular substance allows the engine to burn the sugars in the apple juice. Without the lining, the engine can’t run on apple juice, so the lining is essential to our invention – it’s what makes it work. We might say something like “According to the invention, there is provided an internal combustion engine for a road vehicle having a combustion chamber lined with frobyl tetraplasm”.
The specification should then explain the advantages of the invention, relating it back to the problems with the prior art which were set out earlier. A good way to think about this part of the application is that it is a “sales pitch” for the invention – but it must be a sales pitch with a solid technical basis. Optional features are described, again explaining the advantages of each one.
Detailed description
This part of the specification should describe at least one working embodiment of the invention in detail. Usually, this is done with reference to drawings. The purpose of this section is to satisfy the legal requirement that “enabling disclosure” must be provided, to allow a skilled person to make the invention. For example, if frobyl tetraplasm is not a well-known substance, then we need to tell the skilled person how to make it or where to find it. We need to tell them how to coat the inside of the combustion chamber with the substance, giving enough detail that they can achieve the desired result without undue recourse to trial and error.
It is not necessary to detail every single possible way of putting the invention into effect – it is the job of the claims and statements to define the essential and optional features. However, the detailed description should provide support to the claims across their full breadth. Therefore, if we have claimed “an engine for a road vehicle…”, then we must ensure that enabling disclosure is provided for lorry engines as well as car engines. If the engine requires particular features when it is above a certain size, then we need to tell the skilled person about those features.
