What are the requirements for patent specification drawings and abstract drawings?

Requirements for drawings in the instruction manual:

1. Drawing tools including computers and black ink should be used to draw the instructions. The lines should be even, clear, and deep enough. Coloring or alteration is not allowed, and no use of Engineering blueprint.

2. Section lines in cross-section drawings shall not hinder the clear identification of reference mark lines and main lines.

3. Several drawings can be drawn on one drawing. An overall drawing can be drawn on several drawings, but it should be ensured that the drawings on each drawing are independent, and that when all the drawings are combined to form a complete overall drawing, they do not affect the clarity of each other.

4. There should be no frames around the drawings that are irrelevant to the drawings. If the total number of drawings is more than two, they should be numbered sequentially using Arabic numerals and preceded by the word "Picture", such as Figure 1 and Figure 2. This number should be marked directly below the corresponding drawing. Drawings should be drawn as vertically on the drawing as possible and clearly separated from each other. Marks should be numbered using Arabic numerals.

5. The same drawing should be drawn at the same scale. Drawings shall contain no annotations other than necessary words. The words in the accompanying drawings should be in Chinese, and if necessary, the original text can be indicated in brackets.

6. Flow charts and block diagrams should be used as attachments, and necessary words and symbols should be given in their frames. The use of photographs as accompanying drawings is generally not permitted.

7. The page numbers in the manual and accompanying drawings should be written in Arabic numeral order.

Requirements for abstract drawings:

The abstract drawing should be one of the drawings in the description. If the applicant fails to submit an abstract drawing, the examiner may notify the applicant to make corrections, or designate one ex officio and notify the applicant. If the examiner confirms that there are no suitable abstract drawings to be specified, the applicant does not need to make corrections.

1. If the drawings of the abstract obviously cannot explain the main technical features of the technical solution of the invention, or if the drawings of the abstract submitted are not one of the drawings of the description, the examiner may notify the applicant to make corrections, or designate a person ex officio. size and notify the applicant.

2. The size and clarity of the abstract drawing should ensure that when the picture is reduced to 4 cm × 6 cm, each detail in the picture can still be clearly distinguished.

3. The abstract may contain the chemical formula that best describes the invention, and the chemical formula may be regarded as the drawing attached to the abstract.
