Patent laws are different in many countries, and inventors are
sometimes at a loss to understand which basic requirements should
be satisfied if an invention is to be granted a patent. This is
particularly true for inventions implemented on a computer. While
roughly a third of all applications (and granted patents) relate,
in one way or another, to a computer, applications where the
innovation mainly resides in software or in a business method are
treated differently by the major patent offices in the US (USPTO),
Japan (JPO), and Europe (EPO). The authors start with a thorough
introduction into patent laws and practices, as well as in related
intellectual property rights, which also explains the procedures at
the USPTO, JPO and EPO and, in particular, the peculiarities in the
treatment of applications centering on software or computers. Based
on this theoretical description, next they present in a very
structured way a huge set of case studies from different areas like
business methods, databases, graphical user interfaces, digital
rights management, and many more. Each set starts with a rather
short description and claim of the "invention", then explains the
arguments a legal examiner will probably have, and eventually
refines the description step by step, until all the reservations
are resolved. All of these case studies are based on real-world
examples, and will thus give an inexperienced developer an idea
about the required level of detail and description he will have to
provide. Together, Closa, Gardiner, Giemsa and Machek have more
than 70 years experience in the patent business. With their
academic background in physics, electronic engineering, and
computer science, they know about both the legal and the
subject-based subtleties of computer-based inventions. With this
book, they provide a guide to a patent examiner's way of thinking
in a clear and systematic manner, helping to prepare the first
steps towards a successful patent application.
