The Structure of the Patent Specification



 

The Theory and Practice

Any Patent Specifications should meet all formal requirements in accordance with national and international standards. Patent Specifications describe in detail "an account of the purpose, structure and operation of the invention as well as a discussion of any relevant Prior Art".

As a general rule there are three main parts in any Patent Specification: bibliographic data, drawings and complete description of the invention with the references to the drawings.

I. Bibliographic information

All bibliographic data can be found on the Front Page of the Patent Specification. This part of the specification includes much information such as number of the patent, country of patenting, title of the invention, names of the inventor and assignee, date of priority and some additional information. In some cases it is essential to know the type of application (original application, divisional application or substitute application, etc.) and a wide range of data concerning the prior publications and foreign priority.

All bibliographic information is divided and marked by INID indexes (Internationally agreed Number for the Identifications of Data) that simplify the search of the necessary information. In the case of US Patent Specifications there is such information as References Cited, an abstract and a general view of the invention. It should be noted that a specialist can get very useful information from this part of Specifications.

Examples of the Front Pages of the US Patent Specifications and GB Patent Specification are given below.
