Patent Strategies in Light of the New Rules

Posted on September 05, 2007
The latest rules from the US Patent and Trademark Office are quite sweeping. The new rules have several facets. On one hand, the PTO is limiting the number of continuation and continuation in part applications, as well as requests for continued examination (RCE)...

Patent Prosecution from the Client Perspective – You Do Not Know It When You See It

Posted on August 07, 2007
When I was a practicing engineer at a big company, several of my invention disclosures found their way to patent attorneys. I was fortunate enough to work with a good one and a bad one, although at the time I could not distinguish between the two...

Prohibited Words in a Patent – “Invention”

Posted on May 01, 2007
This post is part of a series talking about the Prohibited Words. The other posts are here. Another one of Prohibited Words is the word “invention”. Nowhere in any patent specification should the word “invention” be used...

Prohibited Words in a Patent – “Must”

Posted on April 30, 2007
I have a list of words that are just plain prohibited in a patent application. I know that other people may use these Prohibited Words, but I have tried to rid them from my lexicon. Some of this may reek of slimy lawyer lingo, but it all has legitimate and practical reasons...
