The text structure of patent application claims and independent claims

The text format of the independent claim consists of the following two parts:

The preface explains the technical field to which the invention or utility model belongs and the technical characteristics of the existing technology closely related to the theme of the invention or utility model.

The feature part describes the technical features of the invention or utility model.

The above two parts together constitute the technical features to be protected. At least one claim of an invention or utility model is written on the first page of the claim.
