Called “one of the most thorough treatments of the subject” by The Licensing Journal, this indispensable guide covers all the legal requirements, formal documents, and drafting and drawing techniques that are essential to developing airtight patent applications. Packed with checklists and sample documents, language, and drawings, How to Write a Patent Application, published by the Practising Law Institute, shows you how to obtain complete information from an inventor to prepare an effective patent application and how to avoid such claiming errors as inconsistent terminology, wrong alternative language, and deficient functional language.

Updated coverage examines:
The advantages of using CDs for materials such as sequence listing, tables, and computer program listings;
Explains when it may not make economic sense to obtain a biotechnology patent;
Discusses the patent implications of the Cooperative Research and Technology Enhancement Act of 2004;
And offers new suggested language for provisional applications, a new patent protection evaluation checklist, and two updated PTO forms.
