Format and formal requirements of instructions

Instructions are the basic documents for understanding inventions and creations, and each component of the instructions and the formal requirements of each component should be memorized and understood.

I. Components of the description of inventions and utility models

1 name

The description of an application for a patent for invention or utility model shall first indicate the name of the invention or utility model.

2. Explain the five components of the manual.

Instructions should usually include five parts and be written in the following order:

1) technical field: specify the technical field to which the technical scheme to be protected belongs.

2) Background technology: state the background technology that is useful for understanding, searching and examining the invention or utility model. It is possible and references reflecting these background technologies are cited.

3) Content of the invention: specify the technical problems to be solved by the invention or utility model and the technical scheme adopted to solve the technical problems, and specify the beneficial effects of the invention or utility model relative to the existing technology.

4) Description of drawings. If there are drawings in the manual, give a brief description of each drawing.

5) Specific mode of implementation: specify in detail the preferred mode of realizing the invention or utility model that the applicant thinks. If necessary, give examples. If there are drawings, refer to the drawings.

The term (1) is the same as or corresponding to the independent claim.

(2) When necessary, you can write the technical scheme of subordinate claims.

(3) Beneficial effects: The description shall clearly and objectively state the beneficial effects of the invention or utility model relative to the existing technology. ..

Beneficial effects refer to the technical effects directly brought or inevitably produced by the technical features that constitute an invention or utility model.

The beneficial effects of the invention or utility model can be expressed in the following ways:

① Generally, the beneficial effects can be described by analyzing the structural features or functions of inventions or utility models, explaining theories and proving experiments or experimental data. We should not just assert that the invention or utility model has a good effect, but should compare it with the existing technology. Such as: performance improvement, cost reduction, environmental protection, etc.

(2) The beneficial effects of inventions or utility models in mechanical and electrical fields can be explained by analyzing structural features, functional relationships or theoretical explanations, while the beneficial effects of inventions in chemical fields should be explained by experiments or experimental data.

5. Description of drawings (Section 2.2.5, Chapter 2, Part II of the Review Guide)

Where there are drawings in the specification, the text of the specification shall briefly explain the drawings in the specification before describing the specific implementation of the invention or utility model.
