How to write technical Disclosure book __ Technology

Technical Disclosure Book

The technical disclosure book is a kind of document which is formed after the inventor realizes the invention, and the patent agent writes the patent application documents according to the technical Disclosure book. It is not only a link between technical documents and patent application documents, but also a communication bridge between inventors and patent agents. A good technical disclosure book is one of the key factors in producing excellent patent application documents.

Good technical disclosure Book with a clear text, logical clarity, the invention point prominent, with clear technical effect, etc., on the contrary, not very good technical disclosure may be inconsistent, wrong frequency, messy, do not write technical results.

In short, a qualified technical Disclosure book should: the background technology, solve technical problems, technical solutions and the analysis of the technical results achieved, and through the corresponding implementation of the extension and other auxiliary patent agent understanding.

Problems

The disclosure of the wrong description of the book, before and after language or language and drawings of contradictions, resulting in patent agent misunderstanding of technology, light through a long time to communicate changes, delay the application time, heavy is always unable to find, the formation of invalid protection.

The description of the disclosure book is not clear, leading to the patent agent through written records and drawings, can not correctly understand the technical principles and technical solutions. For example: ① in the drawings there is no attached drawings, technical content is not combined with the drawings, ② only to improve the part of the local map, there is no overall view, resulting in difficult to understand the role of the improved components; ③ technical terminology is not uniform, parts and components are not uniform.

The disclosure book only has the invention point, lacks the concrete content. Especially in the chemical field, it is necessary to continuously supplement the corresponding data and specific embodiments and other writing methods.

under normal circumstances, technical disclosure book writing ideas: How others do. (background technology) → Why do you have to do it? (technical question) → How do you do it? (technical solution) → What benefits/advantages you have made. (technical effect).

To clarify the relevant content of these ideas, the basic can be used as the basis of communication with the patent agency. Accordingly, the technical disclosure book should generally include the following five parts of the content:

❶ Background Technology

The background technique is used to introduce the existing technology related to the invention and to point out the shortcomings of the existing technology. For the agent, you can understand the technical solution, grasp the invention point, and determine the scope of protection. Attention:

Non-relevant existing technology is not required to provide only the part of the existing technology addressed by the technical problems solved by the invention;

It is best to use the accompanying drawings to describe the existing technology, if the existing technology has relevant patents, periodicals, books, can also provide its source.

❷ Invention Content

The invention content is used to introduce the technical problems solved by the invention, and to clearly and objectively indicate the beneficial effect of the invention or utility model compared with the prior art. Attention:

The invention content is very important part is the invention point, is also the technical plan key point and wants to protect the point, needs according to the important level order list, simple description can, does not need the lengthy speech;

Beneficial effects need to correspond to technical solutions, sorted by importance level, each beneficial effect described, and the beneficial effect should have logical deduction or data support.

❸ Manual Drawings

The drawings are a powerful description of the technical scheme. Attention:

Provide as much editable version as possible, such as CAD, Visio and other forms of graphics;

Photographs in the invention and utility model patent application documents generally can not be used, only to help understand the role of the programme;

For a block diagram composed of several modules, it is necessary to show the name and connection relationship of each module.

For mechanical structure drawings, it is necessary to indicate each structure as much as possible, and the marking needs correspond to the marking one by one of the writing portion, which does not leak.

❹ specific implementation mode

The concrete implementation method part is the most detailed, is also most can assist the agent to understand the part, should elaborate the invention goal is realizes through what concrete technical plan, and does the appropriate expansion. Attention:

The invention of the method needs to describe the specific realization process;

The invention of the device needs to describe the structure of each part in as much detail as possible and the connection between them, and how the device works, as far as possible with the drawings to describe, drawing as far as possible to give a stereo or multi-angle view;

Technical effect of the description, the need to combine the structure or method for certain analysis, such as the combination of principles or experimental data to explain.

❺ Alternative Solutions

Describe in detail the technical content of alternatives (alternative embodiments) and their beneficial effects, and the number of alternatives determines the scope of patent protection.

Patent agents can also inspire and guide inventors to expand their alternatives, so that claims can be written more, embodiments can be more, and the quality of patent application documents is higher. The direction of expansion of alternative programs includes:

The number of parts, the steps of the method, whether the process can be reduced.

Whether the position relationship of the part can be adjusted.

Whether the order of the steps can be changed.

Which part/step/process can be replaced by other parts/steps/processes can still solve technical problems
