Patent Application Drafting (2024-2025 Edition), by Morgan D. Rosenberg: The proper drafting of a patent application takes into account technical breadth, legal strategy, conformance with a vast number of rules and regulations codified in U.S. statutory law, guidelines issued by the United States Patent and Trademark Office, and over a hundred years of constantly evolving case law. Present texts on the drafting of U.S. patent applications generally fall into two categories: first are the weighty legal treatises that focus on theory and case law to the detriment of practical information; second are the patent it yourself books, which are very basic and limited in scope, and thus not of much use to a practicing patent attorney or patent agent.
Patent Application Drafting actually teaches the drafting of patent applications from a practical perspective. Intended as an introductory text, it covers the entire patent application and includes many helpful examples illustrating the process from start to finish. It also explains the procedures involved with U.S. patent application drafting, including the most recent case law and Patent Office guideline considerations. It is an ideal reference guide for novice patent attorneys and patent agents, as well as independent inventors, lawyers, and patent examiners. The 2024-2025 Edition has three new chapters, chapter 15, 16 and 17.
