About the Book

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: A Practical Guide 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 is written for novice patent attorneys, agents, law students, and for those preparing for the patent bar exam.

Review :
This particular work on patent application drafting is - and does - what it says on the cover. It is indeed a practical no-nonsense guide to the entire patent application process from start to finish, including many helpful illustrative examples - complete with diagrams - of the kind that the typical patent lawyer will usually encounter in practice. Phillip Taylor MBE and Elizabeth Taylor of Richmond Green Chambers
