#16 Detailed Description of the Invention. This video teaches the preparation of the section Detailed Description of the Invention in step #10 of the Patent Rights Restored procedure for preparing a patent application.
At the time of filing, the detailed description and the accompanying drawing figures are the most important, most critical part of your patent application. This is because it is here that you make your contribution to public knowledge of something you have invented that is new and not obvious over everything that was known in the technology before your invention.
Your drawing figures and specification have to teach your invention in a way that enables the claims you will later prepare and file.
You need to be careful that you describe every way you believe your invention might be implemented. That is, there may be more than one embodiment of your invention to be described.
And be advised, once you have filed, you may not, in this application, add new options and embodiments to your description.
There are usually three distinct portions of the Detailed Description section of a patent application. These portions are not indicated by headings or subheadings, but may be clearly seen by examining our examples.
The first portion is an introductory paragraph that briefly introduces the scope of the invention, and states how, in general, the invention will be described. This portion is not required, and sometimes is omitted, as you will see if you look at all of our examples, but we recommend you use it.
The second portion is a detailed description following the drawing figures and the element numbers and names in the drawing figures, in order. As there may be several drawings, and several embodiments of your invention, this portion may be several pages of text.
The third and last portion of the detailed description is what we call a "broadening statement". It is one paragraph that reaches out to instruct the readers that there may well be other embodiments of the invention not specifically described in the specification.
