A thorough reading of software patent examples can reveal interesting insights about drafting software patent claims and writing software patent applications. For example, analysis of full copies or software patent pdf document can lead to development of a software patent template, which can subsequently be customised to match the exact need of the software or mobile application for which a strong patent protection is desired.
By conducting a patent search for latest granted patents by the patent office and mapping down software patent claim examples, best practices can be developed for drafting software patent applications, which can further involve preparing software patent flowcharts.
Here are 5 steps to draft patent claims and write patent applications for inventions and technologies belonging to the field of Software, Mobile Apps, Cloud Computing or Internet of Things (IoT):
- Thoroughly understand the innovation as a problem-solution approach
- Prepare flow diagrams (flowcharts) to cover all aspects of the processes disclosed by the innovation
- Prepare system architecture (block diagrams) illustrating all hardware elements connected via network
- Ensure proper sync between the flowcharts and block diagrams
- Draft patent claims (system or apparatus) covering all elements of block diagrams along with process (method) claims
