Preparation for writing
Generally speaking, patent applications with simple technical solutions are easier to understand. On the premise that the agent is sure that he will not misunderstand the technical scheme, he can search first and then communicate with the inventor according to the search results. The contents of communication generally include:
1. Suggestions on application types:
According to the search results and the experience of the agent, the application type is suggested. When the prospect of applying for invention authorization is not great, customers can be advised to consider submitting an application for a patent for utility model.
2. Discussion on technical scheme:
The agent shall inspire the inventor to refine the scheme. During this period, the inventor can further elaborate the original intention of the invention and creation to see if it can inspire the inventor to expand other embodiments or explore other inventions.
3. Inform the application of risks:
The agent shall inform the inventor of the risk of rejection according to the search results and the agent's experience. When it involves changing the application type or even withdrawing the lawsuit, it is necessary to notify the patent manager of the customer at the same time.
After the above communication, if the patent application needs to continue, the following work will be done.
Writing process
1. Determine the theme
For patent applications with simple technical solutions, especially structural patent applications, generally speaking, there is no need to lay out two themes (such as widget theme and big product theme), and the product theme can be used directly. When customers have special requirements for themes, consider two themes: page size.
Write instructions
In terms of background technology, generally speaking, a patent application with a relatively simple technical scheme may be less creative, or it is easy to underestimate creativity when examining. In order to enrich the background technology, we can consider adding some existing technologies of proxy retrieval.
In practice, because the technical scheme of a patent application with simple technical scheme is easy to understand, agents often ignore the steps of principle explanation and reasoning when writing. , leading to the simple description in the concrete implementation, which has a negative impact on the subsequent examiner's evaluation of creativity. When writing a detailed description, try to be as detailed as possible, especially where the invention is involved, whether it is the connection structure, the positional relationship between them or the working principle, try to analyze and describe it in detail. At the same time, we will add the expansion methods we can think of to enrich and improve the specific implementation methods as much as possible. In addition, we should also pay attention to the relationship between independent inventions, and strive to make them complement each other and enhance creativity. You can refer to American and European patents when writing. Examples of European and American patent application documents are generally written in detail, including possible examples and subordinate concepts. For a subordinate concept, a complete example will also be written, and the effects of different features on the whole will be explained. When describing the technical scheme in detail, we should pay attention to describing the effects of various possible improvement points, which may play a key role in the subsequent creative judgment.
Generally speaking, what should be prepared for Zhengzhou technology patent application? An agent should not rush to finish a problem just because it is simple. On the contrary, agents should pay more attention to the above aspects in order to write high-quality patent application documents when encountering such patent applications.
