Patent documents describe the "invention" itself, not just the "invented product" [Revised Version]

✔ Patent documents describe the "invention."

✔ Patent documents do not merely describe the "invented product."

This article explains this distinction.

This information is useful for those intending to draft their own patent documents.

It also serves as a helpful resource for anyone interested in learning about patents.

(Note: This article does not necessarily recommend drafting patent documents yourself.)

■ Are patent documents difficult to write?

Are patent documents difficult to write?

To put it another way, is it difficult to express an idea in writing?

If you feel that way, there is only one reason:

You do not know *what* to write or *how* to write it.

(It is similar to the difficulty of writing a book report.)

You should look up the required format for what and how to write.

By following that format, you should be able to turn your idea into a written document.

Patent gazettes drafted by patent attorneys serve as excellent references for patent formats.

You can read patent gazettes on the "Patent Information Platform | J-PlatPat."

■ Patent documents describe the "invention"

In patent documents, you must put the "invention"—an abstract concept—into words.

Translating it into text is a very difficult task.

That is why there is a standardized format for explaining an "invention."

We patent attorneys draft descriptions of inventions by following that format.

That said, the explanation itself is not necessarily easy.

However, we would be in a real bind without a format.

In any case, one would inevitably end up creating a standard format of some kind.

■ Patent documents do not merely describe the "invented product"

In terms of sheer volume, patent documents often contain a great deal of description regarding the physical object.

(Object = invented product / a specific embodiment of the invention)

Describing a physical object is easy.

At the very least, it is far simpler than explaining abstract concepts.

Thus, the bulk of a patent document consists of the description of the object—the simpler part of the task. You might get the impression that anyone can write a patent document.

However, keep in mind that:

✓ Describing the physical object (the invention or specific embodiments) is not the *primary purpose* of a patent document.

✓ Embodiments are described merely *as examples* to illustrate the invention.

It is helpful to keep these points in mind when drafting a patent document.

■ Patent Practice (Reference)

In actual patent practice:

✓ Descriptions of embodiments are sometimes written by patent engineers rather than patent attorneys.

✓ Patent examiners, too, tend to read only the bare minimum regarding the description of embodiments.

You should bear these points in mind when preparing a patent document.

Of course, the most reliable approach is to engage a patent attorney—a specialist in the field.
