Description
Invention Analysis and Claiming: A Patent Lawyer's Guide 3rd Edition Ronald D Slusky ISBN 9781639056125
Invention Analysis and Claiming: A Patent Lawyer’s Guide, Third Edition offers a thorough framework for evaluating inventions and translating them into well-crafted patent claims. Central to the book is the problem–solution approach, which emphasizes identifying the true “inventive concept” before beginning the claim-drafting process. Its guidance is rooted in foundational, time-tested principles of patent practice—knowledge traditionally passed down through hands-on experience with mentors and supervisors.
Building on the second edition, this updated version continues its discussion of functional claim language and the use of “means-plus-function” elements. The third edition introduces new chapters addressing patent eligibility and validity under 35 U.S.C. §§ 101, 102, and 103. One chapter examines the unsettled and evolving case law surrounding the unpatentability of abstract ideas, while another invites readers to analyze and debate the obviousness of more than two dozen familiar innovations, such as the salad spinner and the window envelope.
Each chapter concludes with thought-provoking questions designed to help readers:
-
Reinforce their understanding of the concepts presented
-
Examine the legal and practical implications of those concepts
-
Apply the invention analysis and claim-drafting techniques introduced in the chapter
This edition serves as both a practical guide and a critical thinking resource for patent practitioners at all stages of their careers.
