The material reviews how application parts work together, explains how claims are supported by the detailed description, and emphasizes that amendments introducing new technical disclosure are not allowed after filing. It also highlights the need for careful language, proper “best mode” disclosure where required, and a problem-solution narrative approach.

The parts of  \nthe application are generally:  \n• claims  \n• detailed description (or specification)  \n• drawings  \n• background  \n• abstract  \n• summary  \n9/13/2016 Topic 8 Drafting Description, Drawing, and Abstract 3  \n1. Claims  \nOne of the first things to do is to prepare the claims for the invention.  \nIn fact, the patent agent may even want to sketch out the claims in the disclosure meeting with the inventor. The patent agent may consider preparing a “picture” claim for an invention.  \nA picture claim is a claim that paints a word picture of the invention. The patent agent will rarely want to file a picture claim although such claims can be useful in helping to understand the invention and may also be helpful in determining all the points of novelty with the inventor  \n9/13/2016 Topic 8 Drafting Description, Drawing, and Abstract 4  \n2. Detailed Description or Specification  \nThe detailed description section, sometimes known as the “preferred embodiment of invention” section or the “disclosed embodiment of the invention” section breathes life into the claims and provides a sufficient explanation of the invention for an ordinary person skilled in the art to make and understand the invention.  \nThe detailed description section must be closely tied to the drawings. This section cannot be substantively amended once the application has been filed.  \nThe patent agent cannot amend his application to include new technical disclosure during prosecution.  \n9/13/2016 Topic 8 Drafting Description, Drawing, and Abstract 5  \nThus, a patent agent should take care that the patent application  \n(1) reflects the disclosure material provided by the inventors,  \n(2) provides sufficient information to enable an ordinary artisan to reproduce the invention and  \n(3) provides sufficient depth so that the claims can be narrowed during patent prosecution to avoid close prior art.  \nThe patent agent will also want to consider the “best mode” requirement that arises in jurisdictions such as the US and India. The patent application must disclose the best mode of carrying out the invention known to the inventors.  \nBasically, the patent application cannot conceal the optimum aspects of the invention from someone who tries to make and use the invention described in the patent. So, for example, if the inventors know that a precipitate is formed between 115 and 140 degrees, but also know that the greatest volumes of precipitate are formed at 120.5 degrees, they must disclose this information as well. Not all countries have a “best mode” requirement in patent applications.  \n9/13/2016 Topic 8 Drafting Description, Drawing, and Abstract 6  \nPatent specifications filed with the EPO preferably follow a “problem-solution”approach. Thus, the story told by the application is one of outlining a problem first and then describing its solution. The discussion of the problem begins in the Background Section. (See Sec. 4.d below.) Some patent agents find the problemsolution approach easy to follow in crafting their applications and this technique should be suitable for applications filed in most jurisdictions.
