Rules of Patent Drafting: Guidelines from Federal Circuit Case Law (2016 Edition) by Joseph Root: Patents are invalidated every day for reasons often stemming from avoidable error. Rules of Patent Drafting helps patent drafters avoid such errors with a set of patent drafting rules derived from Federal Circuit decisions. By focusing on drafting principles, instead of abstract legal concepts, the reader gains a coherent, integrated understanding of what the Federal Circuit requires. The rules point the way to confident drafting.

  • Gives patent drafters a wealth of strategic, organized information on the relevant case law issued by the Federal Circuit

  • A new approach to learning patent drafting, presenting an integrated set of rules. Each rule is internally coherent and complete, so that full understanding of the rule produces a complete grasp of all important facets of a topic.

  • Text combines thoroughness and accessibility. Federal Circuit cases are fully presented, with sufficient factual treatment to assist understanding. Clear organization and writing promote understanding by IP specialists and non-lawyers alike.

    Reviews

    "The contents and insights are refreshingly different from the type of thing that seems to be rehashed in books aimed at beginners. Furthermore, the author, Joseph Root, supports his contentions and illustrates his approach with reference to Federal Circuit Court of Appeal decisions...What is particularly refreshing though, is the style. The author emphasizes his points with similes and metaphors taken from an impressive range of books, films, and TV series. Despite thoroughly addressing weighty subject matter, the book is not a heavy read."
