If the patent search reveals that the new invention could be a viable candidate for patent protection, the next step involves filing a proper application. In order to make sure that the application presents the strongest possible case for approval from the USPTO, the following types of information should be included:
- A description of the components/parts of the product
- A statement of the novelty of the new product
- A comparative statement between the new product and the current state of the art
- Drawings, plans and schematics that describe the overall product in detail
If the inventor is attempting to obtain a process based mechanical patent, the same types of information mentioned above need to be included as well as a clear description of the overall mechanical process and how that process is novel in nature. It is all written down on how to patent an idea with InventHelp article.
