  1. patent application

    A patent application is a formal request submitted to a patent office for the grant of a patent for the invention described and claimed by the applicant. This document typically includes the title of the invention, an indication of its technical field, background and summary of the invention, the description of the invention in detail, and a set of claims defining the invention. It is vital to protect the applicant's intellectual property rights and prevent others from commercially exploiting the invention without the applicant's consent.

  1. Patent application

    A patent application is a request pending at a patent office for the grant of a patent for the invention described and claimed by that application. An application consists of a description of the invention, together with official forms and correspondence relating to the application. The term patent application is also used to refer to the process of applying for a patent, or to the patent specification itself. In order to obtain the grant of a patent, a person, either legal or natural, must file an application at a patent office with jurisdiction to grant a patent in the geographic area over which coverage is required. This will often be a national patent office but could be a regional body, such as the European Patent Office. Once the patent specification complies with the laws of the office concerned, a patent may be granted for the invention described and claimed by the specification. The process of "negotiating" or "arguing" with a patent office for the grant of a patent, and interaction with a patent office with regard to a patent after its grant, is known as patent prosecution. Patent prosecution is distinct from patent litigation which relates to legal proceedings for infringement of a patent after it is granted.
