A nonprovisional utility patent application must include a specification, including a description and a claim or claims; drawings, when necessary; an oath or declaration; and the prescribed filing, search, and examination fees. Patent Center accepts electronic documents formatted in DOCX.
Understanding and meeting these three basic requirements—novelty, non-obviousness, and utility—is vital for any inventor seeking patent protection. The patent application process is both rigorous and meticulous, demanding a strategic approach to intellectual property protection.
To get the granted Patent, which is essential for the enforceability, every country has its criteria to judge the invention. Usually, Novelty, Inventive Step/Non-Obviousness and Industrial Applicability are the common criteria for judging an invention.
Patent applications: the three criteria Novelty. This means that your invention must not have been made public – not even by yourself – before the date of the application. Inventive step. This means that your product or process must be an inventive solution. Industrial applicability.

The Evaluation of novelty, utility and non-obviousness for each application filed is determined by an Examiner in the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO). The Examiner conducts a patent search to find similar inventive work known as "prior art".
Format of a Patent Application The Specification. The Title. The Description. The Claims. The Drawings. The Abstract. Sample Specifications. Minimum Requirements for a Filing Date.
Obviousness: The patent office will conduct a search for prior art, which is any previous disclosure of the invention or similar invention. If prior art is found, the patent application may be rejected. Lack of novelty: The invention must be new and non-obvious in order to be eligible for a patent.
The five primary requirements for patentability are: (1) patentable subject matter; (2) utility; (3) novelty; (4) non-obviousness; and (5) enablement. Like trademarks, patents are territorial, meaning they are enforceable in a specific geographic area.
There are five requirements that must be met to obtain a patent: patentable subject matter, utility, novelty, nonobviousness and enablement. This post will provide a general overview of this topic, but as always, this post is for educational purposes only and does not contain legal advice.
