Abstract of the Invention – That portion of a patent application that briefly indexes the disclosure of the invention.

Anticipation – Prior conception and reduction to practice of the same invention by another.

Assignment – A document that transfers all or a portion of an inventor’s rights in an invention to another person or corporation.

Background of the Invention – That portion of a patent application that describes the state of the prior art as it existed at the time of invention.

Best Mode – The process or technique that the inventor considers to be the most effective way of producing and using the invention at the time the patent application is filed.

Claims – That portion of a patent application which spells out the boundaries of the invention much as a deed spells out the boundaries for land; entering the boundaries of land is trespass while entering the boundaries of patent claims is infringement.

Conception of Idea – The formation in the mind of the inventor of a definite and permanent idea of the complete and operative invention and communication of the concept to a non-inventor.

Declaration – An affirmation by an inventor that he or she believes that he or she is the original, first and sole (or joint) inventor of the subject matter claims, has reviewed and understands the contents of the specification (and claims) and acknowledges the duty to disclose information which is material to the examination of the application; the written declaration must warn the declarant that willful false statements are punishable by fine or imprisonment or both.

Detailed Description of the Invention – That portion of the patent application wherein one of ordinary skill is taught to make and use the invention; this is usually where much of the enablement requirement is satisfied; every aspect of the invention in its broadest scope must be taught at least in a prophetic manner.

Enablement – The legal requirement that a patent application must contain sufficient information to allow to one of ordinary skill in the art to make and practice the invention.

Examiner – A patent officer responsible for determining the patentability of an invention submitted to the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office.

Examples – That portion of a patent application that provides details of reducing to practice aspects of the invention.

First to File – That patent system in most foreign countries where priority is based on filing date.

First to Invent – The patent system in the United States where priority is based on date of conception linked to reduction to practice.

Formal Papers – As assignment, a patent application, a power of attorney and an oath or declaration.

Infringement – The unauthorized act of making, using, selling, offering for sale or importing into the United States, without the patent owner’s permission, a product that is covered by one or more claims of a valid patent.

Interference – A determination by the USPTO of priority of invention.

Invention – Conception of a new, useful, nonobvious idea followed by reduction to practice and communicated to a non-inventor.

Invention Disclosure Form (IDF)- A form submitted to the patent department by a researcher when he or she conceives of or thinks they have an invention; the form is witnessed and includes as many details of the invention (how to make and use, prior art, etc.) as possible.

Inventorship – One who makes an inventive contribution to conception or reduction to practice; does not include one who contributes ordinary skill in the art.

Manuscript Release -The form to be submitted when an employee seeks to make research information public in a publication, presentation, poster session symposium, news release, etc.; the form should contain details of the information to be released (manuscripts) as well as identification of any previous publications or patent applications to which it may pertain.

Novelty – The legal requirement that the elements for an invention not be anticipated in the prior art; an invention that has not been known or used by others in the U.S., or patented or described in a printed publication in this or a foreign country prior to the invention thereof by the applicant for a patent.

Nonobviousness – The legal requirement for a patent application that the prior art as a whole does not motivate or teach one of ordinary skill in the art the invention sought to be patented.

Nonprovisional Patent Application – A formal U.S. patent application that will be examined by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office and has the potential to issue as a patent. Nonprovisional applications include continuation applications, continuation-in-part applications and divisional applications.

Notice of Allowance – An official notice sent to the Applicant by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) indicating which claims meet the requirements for patentability and therefore have been “allowed” by the USPTO. When the Applicant pays a fee known as the Issue Fee, the USPTO issues a patent based upon the allowed claims.

Patent Application – An application filed by or on behalf of an inventor(s) for a patent.

Provisional Application – An informal patent application that can be filed with the United States Patent Office to preserve a priority date for a later U.S. or foreign patent application without beginning the twenty year patent term so long as the provisional application is enabling and the later applications are filed within a year.
