How to reduce the burden of making requests to patent offices - learning from press releases [Rewritten version]
When making requests to a patent office (patent attorney), what kind of documents should you create?
A request letter? An invention proposal? You may be wondering about these things.
You don't need to think too hard about it.
This article should be helpful.
You can reduce the burden of making requests to patent offices.
*
The other day, I attended a seminar on press releases.
(Press release = information provided to, announcements made by, or released to the media)
You may be familiar with press releases from reports of celebrity weddings.
For us businesspeople, press releases are more familiar when they are used to announce new products.
During the seminar, the following was discussed.
Points to note when businesses send releases to media organizations.
(Release = draft of press release)
****************************************************
"Sometimes they send me 'article-like' things that look as if they were written by a journalist. It is enough if the release accurately describes the facts. It is better not to give off an awkward vibe. '
****************************************************
This is a slightly subtle way of expressing it from the perspective of a media organization, but I think you can understand the gist of it.
I felt that there were some similarities with the situation at patent offices (patent attorneys).
The same is true when creating a document that describes the details of an invention (invention proposal).
It is enough if the details of the invention are properly described in the invention proposal.
In fact, the format doesn't matter.
In rare cases, people bring in invention proposals in the same format as application documents.
(You could also say it has the same format as a patent gazette.)
It certainly conveys the client's enthusiasm.
In some cases, the content of the invention can also be understood.
However, for patent attorneys, this format can be tricky.
As a result, it can lead to disadvantages for the client.
＊
As a patent attorney, it is important to understand the contents of the invention.
Then, we do our best to make the most of the contents of the invention.
We consider what contents should be included and to what extent.
In this way, we create the ideal application documents.
However, as a patent attorney, we must respect the contents of the invention proposal.
What if the invention proposal has the same format as the application documents?
It may contain contents that are not desirable for a patent.
✓As a patent attorney, it is a burden to decide what to include
✓The key points of the invention may become unclear or inconsistent
✓There may be cases where we have no choice but to leave the undesirable contents in the application documents
As a result, it may be to the detriment of the client.
＊
The above is our firm's way of thinking. Different patent offices may have different ways of thinking.
If you are unsure how to request a patent, please feel free to think about it.
At least at our firm, it is sufficient if the contents of the invention are clear.
As an invention proposal, a single sheet of paper with an explanation and a rough sketch is sufficient.
In fact, it is often easier to deal with them that way.
The above also applies to those in corporate research and development.
Do you ever feel like writing invention proposals is a burden?
Depending on the patent office, that burden may be reduced.
It may also be possible to improve the content of your application documents.

What did you think?
I originally took this seminar for my own business.
However, I learned a lot of things, so I thought I'd share them.
I will continue to provide information that will be useful to you.
