1. What is patent drafting?

Patent drafting is the process of preparing a detailed document that describes an invention in a legally acceptable format. This includes the title, background, detailed description, claims, abstract, and drawings. It forms the basis of your patent application.

2. Why is proper patent drafting important?

A well-drafted patent determines:

  • The scope of legal protection you get
  • How easy it is to defend your patent if copied
  • Whether the patent will be granted or rejected by the patent office

3. What are the types of patent specifications?

  • Provisional Specification: A temporary application to establish a filing date. It contains only a description (no claims).
  • Complete Specification: A full patent application that includes claims, abstract, and drawings. Filed within 12 months of the provisional.

4. What are ‘claims’ in a patent?

Claims define the legal boundary of your invention. They state exactly what your invention protects. If anyone uses what is claimed, it may be considered an infringement.

5. Who can draft a patent application?

It can be drafted by:

  • The inventor
  • A registered patent agent
  • A patent attorney
    However, due to legal and technical complexity, hiring an expert is recommended.

6. What documents are required to draft a patent?

  • Invention disclosure
  • Inventor details
  • Technical description
  • Drawings/schematics
  • Claims (for complete specification)
  • Optional: Prior art references, prototypes, lab data

7. Can I patent a software idea?

Yes, but only if the software has a technical effect or solves a technical problem. Pure algorithms or business methods are generally not patentable in many jurisdictions.

8. Do I need to build a prototype before filing a patent?

No. A working prototype is not required, but the invention must be described in sufficient detail so that a person skilled in the art can understand and reproduce it.

9. What happens after patent drafting?

Once the draft is ready:

  1. You file it with the appropriate patent office
  2. Pay the required filing fees
  3. File for examination (if applicable)
  4. Respond to examiner objections (if any)
  5. Upon approval, the patent is granted

10. Can I file internationally after drafting one patent?

Yes. You can claim priority from your first filing (within 12 months) using:

  • Paris Convention
  • PCT (Patent Cooperation Treaty) route
    This allows filing in multiple countries based on your original patent draft.
