BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

This section describes the state of the art in the particular technical area to which the patent relates and what problems remain to be solved or disadvantages accompanying the prior art solutions. In other words, Background of the invention should describe what others have done in the field, and what problems have not been solved by this prior work. It is always better to mention the status of the closest technology, experiments, patents and patent applications in this section.

OBJECT OF INVENTION

Object of invention should clearly reflect the advantages of the invention. It should describe the solution of the existing technical problem associated with the existing field of art. Each and every object and advantages of the invention should be described in a separate sentence. Basically, this portion is a comparative analysis of the inventive technology over the existing one.

STATEMENT OF INVENTION

Statement of invention describes the exact novel features of the invention. It should clearly reflect the inventive feature of the invention over the existing one. This part is very useful to declare inventiveness of the invention and also relates exactly to the independent claims and to complement the omnibus claim in situations of infringement proceedings.

SUMMARY OF INVENTION

Summary of invention describes a broad overview of the invention and, thus, provide a structure for understanding the Detailed Description and Claim sections of the specification. The summary of the invention describes the invention overall, e.g., the purpose of the invention, problems solved, advantages offered, and so forth.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS

The brief description of drawings includes a written description of the invention that explains how to make and use it. It should point the reference numerals used in the drawings and should be specific. The details should be sufficient enough for a person skilled in the art to understand and perform the invention.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

The detailed description describes in detail what the invention is and how it is made and used. Examples showing how the invention works in a particular application may or may not be present. It should reflect the complete picture of the invention and should be sufficient for a person skilled in the art to perform the invention by developing necessary technical know‐how.

CLAIMS

Claims are the essence of a patent. The claims define the invention which the inventor holds as his exclusive property and has the right to exclude others from making, using and selling. The claims specify the scope of ownership in a piece of property, i.e. Intellectual Property. These claims are of paramount importance in both patent prosecution in the Patent Office and patent litigation in the courts. Therefore, during claim drafting the choice of words used in the patent claims should be dealt in a great understanding and thought.
