“Claim construction is an art”
Patent drafting is a complex and tedious task. It is complex because it requires the combined knowledge of technology and law. It is tedious, well , because effective writing isn’t everybody’s cup of tea (or coffee!).
To invent is one thing, to express the invention in language is different. To express the invention in legal language is a totally different thing. Patents need to be drafted such that each and every critical aspect of the invention is covered. The claims need to be balanced such that they cover the novelty and are broad enough to cover it well, but not too broad to be rejected by the patent examiner. If the claims are too narrow, it might fail to protect the inventive idea and might be easily worked around. If the claims are too broad, they might be rejected outright.
Our team at Crimson Insights has wide experience with drafting patents in varied domains.
We have a unique process where the patent drafter and the inventor remain in constant touch over phone, video conference or meeting in person. Detailed inventor interviews are conducted which ensure that the ideas reflected in the patent are exactly as the inventor intends.
We have successfully seen our drafted applications getting granted month after month with minimum office action requirements.
We also have a dedicated team of Patent Illustrators which help in making patent drawings which adhere to the norms of USPTO, PCT and other patent jurisdictions. These are experts in CAD tools.
