The proper drafting of a patent application takes into account technical breadth, legal strategy, conformance with a vast number of rules and regulations codified in U.S. statutory law, guidelines issued by the United States Patent and Trademark Office, and over a hundred years of constantly evolving case law. Present texts on the drafting of U.S. patent applications generally fall into two categories: First are the weighty legal treatises that focus on theory and case law to the detriment of practical information; second are the "patent it yourself" books, which are very basic and limited in scope, and thus not of much use to a practicing patent attorney or patent agent. Patent Application Drafting: A Practical Guide actually teaches the drafting of patent applications from a practical perspective. Intended as an introductory text, it covers the entire patent application and includes many helpful examples illustrating the process from start to finish. It is written for novice patent attorneys, agents, law students, and for those preparing for the patent bar exam.
Morgan D. Rosenberg is presently the Director of Middle East Operations at Litman Law Offices in Manassas, VA. As a technical specialist, he writes and prosecutes patent applications. His specialties include claim drafting and analysis, PCT practice, right-to-use/infringement searches and analysis, validity/invalidity searches and analysis, and U.S. patent prosecution. He has written over 500 patent applications and over 500 patent amendments/responses to USPTO Office Actions. He is a regular contributor to Intellectual Property Today. He is also the author of The Essentials of Patent Claim Drafting (Oxford University Press, November 2011), and co-author with Richard J. Apley of Business Method and Software Patents (Oxford University Press, January 2012). Patent Application Drafting: A Practical Guide is the third and final of his practice-oriented guides to the patent application process.
