A patent application consists of an abstract, a specification, and often drawings. The abstract is a brief summary of the contents of the specification. The specification is made up of: a clear and complete description of the invention and its usefulness; and • claims that define the boundaries of patent protection.
The title of the invention should be placed at the top of the first page of the specification unless it is provided in the application data sheet (see 37 CFR 1.76). The title should be brief but technically accurate and descriptive and should contain fewer than 500 characters.
Background Section Many attorneys advocate for writing something short and simple that discusses the field of the invention, the problem, and the need for improvement. Many attorneys note that anything in this background section can be used against you so it should be three short sentences.
(1) Field of the Invention: This is a very broad description of the area of technology into which the patent falls. Traditionally, the field of the invention is stated in two sentences. The first is sort of a paraphrasing of the class definition, the second is similar to a subclass definition.
The summary of the invention emphasizes on the nature and purpose of the invention. It aids in providing immense facilitation in understanding the invention and how it can benefit the era in future. For this reason, one must draft the summary in plain and easy to comprehend language.
