- What information is needed to file a patent: creating “invention disclosure” video by Prasad Karhad
patentinindia.com/what-inform...
When you decide to file a patent application for your invention the very next question you have is “what is exact information needed to file my Patent application”
And you may have further questions like
Is developing a prototype or working model necessary? or
Can I file a patent application without developing a working model?
How do I write all details about my invention, what is expected, where should I start?
It may be sometimes really challenging and intimidating to look at blank paper and think, where should I start, what should I write ?
In this video we are going to solve this problem :
But, before we begin the steps and process for creating a complete ( or comprehensive) invention disclosure, let us understand the purpose of the “invention disclosure”.
The purpose of the invention disclosure:
An important objective of the invention disclosure that you would be writing is to help the patent attorney or patent agent to understand your invention completely. In other words, the patent attorney should be able to stand in your shoes and see all the details of your invention, to be able to draft/write a good patent application such that it will provide the broadest possible protection for your invention.
It is important to Note that : since a patent attorney / Intellectual Property firm signs a non-disclosure agreement (NDA) with the inventor before proceeding with the invention disclosure step, your confidentiality would be maintained by the patent attorney at all levels hence you need not worry about the privacy of your invention.
We need Implementable details of the invention, to be able to be an “enabling disclosure”
Now, What do we mean by enabling disclosure of the invention ?
An enabling disclosure of the invention is such detailed information about the invention that when you give it to a person skilled in the art; that person should be able to implement (or practice) the invention without needing to perform any additional research.
In simple language, we need just enough information about your invention such that a person from the same field (of our subject matter) should be able to implement the invention without any difficulty or without needing to do any research.
What does an enabling invention disclosure or implementable details look like?
We receive the invention disclosure in many forms depending upon
the type of invention,
information available with the inventor,
and stage of the invention.
We have received invention disclosure in the following forms:
As a project report or a technical document covering all aspects of the invention
As a presentation or PPT with technical details included
As hand-drawn sketches or drawings of the device and its explanation
As a video or screen recording
As a video of device or tool or invention explain how it functions
Or as a meetings notes of Meeting with patent attorney for discussing the invention
Any other relevant form in which the information about the invention is communicated to patent attorney/agent
It is clear from the list above that the form of information to communicate the “invention disclosure” can be varied as per your preference of the means or medium.
However, there are few things that you need to be consider while creating a comprehensive invention disclosure:
What is my innovative idea/invention?
How does it work?
What problem my invention is solving?
What are the advantages of my innovative idea over others?
What are the elements or components of my invention?
Can I draw a block diagram or device or flowchart or sketch that explains my invention in a better way?
What part of my invention is novel?
What part of my invention is having “inventive step” that is having either technical advance or economic significance or both
What are replaceable components, elements of my invention?
Can my invention be practiced in different ways? (possible embodiments)
You may not be knowing answers to all of these questions but try to write answers to as many of the questions as you can to be able to come up with complete invention disclosure.
Sometimes, when you miss important information about the invention (inventive step) the patent attorney/patent agent working on your invention would get back to you and ask for additional details about the invention.
This is the most important step from your side (from the inventor's side) in the entire patent process hence the information needs to be carefully submitted.
