标题Re: [问题] 方法项与图示的问题
时间Sun Aug 21 01:53:14 2011
※ 引述《J774 (MQ)》之铭言:
: 以前一直被教导 方法项里的各步骤要有对应的流程图
: 例如claims共有10个步骤 那得要有这10个步骤的流程图(可能是几张图)
: 但我看台中美专利 似乎不一定皆如此
: 重要的步骤是都有流程图 但有些(claim有的)次要的步骤可能就是以文字带过
: 请问到底是如何呢? 谢谢

Applications filed without drawings are initially inspected to determine
whether a drawing is referred to in the specification, and if not, whether a
drawing is necessary for the understanding of the invention. 35 U.S.C. 113

one
process or method claim as an application for which a drawing is not
necessary for an understanding of the invention under 35 U.S.C. 113 (first
sentence). The same practice has been followed in composition applications.
Other situations in which drawings are usually not considered necessary for
the understanding of the invention under 35 U.S.C. 113 (first sentence) are:
(A)Coated articles or products
(B)Articles made from a particular material or composition
(C)Laminated structures
(D)Articles, apparatus, or systems where sole distinguishing feature
