What are the parts of patent applications and patents? This video explores the three main parts of non-provisional applications: the specification, drawings and claim. Also discussed are the two ways to start the patent process (provisional or non-provisional patent applications) along with what publications of patent applications look like compared to publications of issued patents. I explain how the claims define what is actually patented our sought to be patented in an application, which is why examination focuses primarily on the claims. Even though most folks think that the drawings and description define what's patented, it's actually the claims that define the metes and bounds of what is patented and what's not. #patents #patent #patentexamination #patentapplication #patentdrafting
