| (a) Focus your disclosure on those aspects of the invention that you believe are new. |
(b) Limit the use of code in describing your invention! Instead, focus on describing the functionality and process flow
at a conceptual level rather than implementation at the code level. |
(c) If possible, attach drawings, illustrations, and/or flow charts of the steps of your inventive method. These are
especially helpful in explaining your invention to others. Elaborate or formal drawings are not necessary. |
(d) The more detail, the better, but please provide at least enough detail to explore the merits of filing a patent
application on the idea and to give outside counsel at least a basic understanding of the invention so that
they can effectively gather more details from you. |
