Essentials of Patent Claim Drafting, by Morgan D. Rosenberg, covers the actual mechanics of assembling both basic and complex claims from simple mechanical cases to complex chemical and pharmaceutical cases. The claims of a patent application are, in many ways, the most important part of the application. The claims define the legal scope of patent protection granted by an issued patent, and also determine the course of the patent prosecution process. A properly drafted patent claim must take into account technical breadth, legal strategy, and conformance with U.S. statutory law, U.S. Patent and Trademark Office guidelines, and over a hundred years of case law.
