Today, we will learn about “the 4th industry and patent overview”. Among them, today we will discuss “Patent Specification 2”.
1. Preparation of a patent application
A patent application (a specification) has the following components
1) Title of invention - The title of the invention allows classification, arrangement, and investigation of the invention. It is better to write the terms in accordance with the claims
2) Technological field - It is to describe the existence of prior art
3) Technology underlying the invention - The problems of the prior art are specifically described in a way that the technology to be applied for can be highlighted
4) Problem to be solved - Derived from the problems of the prior art, it is used to emphasize that the applied invention is a solution
5) Means of solving the problem - Describes the main technical solution technology adopted by the applied invention to solve the problem
6) Effect of the invention - Emphasize that the problem to be solved can be effectively solved, and it is written based on the fact that the applied invention is novel, progressive, and patentable.
7) Brief description of drawings - Define the used drawings simply and clearly.
8) Specific content for due diligence of the invention - According to the law, it is specified that the invention should be written clearly and in detail so that a person with ordinary knowledge in the technical field to which the invention belongs can easily implement the invention. The purpose, configuration, and effect of the invention are divided and described in detail.
9) Claims: The right to be protected should be clearly described, and should be prepared based on the description of the invention. As a requirement for description of the claims, it can serve as a document of rights when supported by the detailed description of the invention. One should pay attention to the unity of terms used at this time (the same terms as those used for specific description of the invention are used). There must be one or more than one claim, and in the case of two or more claims, each claim is recognized as a polynomial. Usually, claim 1 is written as an independent claim (a form that does not cite other claims), and after claim 2, it is divided into independent or dependent claims (independent claims or other dependent claims are used). In the claims, all elements of the invention must be specified, and their mechanical relationship must also be specified.
2. Composition of the actually applied patent documents
The actual applied patent documents are structured as follows.
1) Bibliography, title of invention, abstract
2) Claims
3) Technical field, background, problem to be solved
4) Problem solving means and “effect”
- Whether the applied invention is valid as a patent in terms of novelty and inventive step
5) Brief description of drawings
6) Specific content for implementing the invention
Today, we looked at the 4th industry and patent overview, especially “Patent Specification 2”. Next time, we will study “Applicant Code Issuance Practice”.
*I am a student learning IP, not an IP expert. Translation is also a translator and my short English skills. I hope it will be helpful to those who do not have the relevant knowledge or those who want to learn about IP.
*The above is what I learned from Professor Oh's lecture on the 4th industrial revolution and patents, which can be viewed through K-mooc. Here is the link to the lecture (you may not be able to view it without logging in).
