Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to the structure of a patent procedure document used in patent-related procedures and a method for producing the same.

In general, technological development has a public nature in that the benefits of its results are returned to society in general through the industrial world and contribute to the development of human society. In other words, technological development advances industrial and employment structures, develops the economy and society, promotes international trade, and promotes domestic and international development.

What brought about modern advanced civilization and the prosperity of human society,
Most of the manufactured goods around us, which are the basis for enriching our lives, are the result of the creative activities and technological development of our predecessors. Here, the development of science and technology has been accelerating compared to human history, and the development in the past century or half century in particular has been truly remarkable. Its cutting edge extends from the extremely small world to space development.

However, if we look at the current state of the development of science and technology in all fields as a whole, on the one hand, we have overcome seemingly impossible things one after another and achieved extreme progress, while on the other hand, we have seen that for some reason, fields are surprisingly behind. There is also.

Therefore, we will look back at the things and players that have played a major role in the current development of science and technology from various viewpoints and look back on the history, and identify the main technical grounds and mechanisms that enabled each player to play a leading role. In addition to analyzing things, we consider what the characteristics of the progress that took place in those processes reveal, and we analyze the challenges of the modern technological development system and its promotion and protection system. Search and estimate the direction of the solution and use it as the background of the invention. When it comes to system development and technological innovation that have a large social impact, it is essential to not only have technical support, but also to have a historical perspective, a foresight into the future, an objective analysis of the current situation, and finding a direction from a comprehensive perspective. This is because it is said that It is the ideological framework for the overall system configuration and selection.

Here, we will discuss paper, text, printing, the patent system, industrial standardization, electronic equipment, etc. as representative factors responsible for the development of science and technology.

1) First, with paper, letters, and printing, intangible technical ideas and matters that should be a means of thinking are concretely expressed on paper and input into the brain through vision. Together with the accumulation of knowledge (memories and information input and accumulated on various occasions in the past), it becomes the source of one's own thinking activities (brain activities).

In other words, the ability to record and input new information becomes an excellent aid for thinking, and printing complicates it and stimulates the minds of many others, furthermore, it becomes a medium that creates new technology. It has played a major role in the development of science and technology.

In addition, this is true of academia in general, but science and technology in particular are inherently
It has the characteristic of progressing through accumulation, resembling steps that reach a higher level based on the current situation. Printing, which has the ability to record, input, and reproduce, is compatible with these characteristics and can be said to have the function of accumulating technology.

2) Next, the patent system not only strengthened the above functions one step further, but also served as a direct means of maximizing the creative activities of researchers and engineers and linking their results to industrial applications. It is an epoch-making system in many respects, and has played a major role in dramatically advancing the development of science and technology, as well as industry and the economy. In other words, the contents of an invention, which is the result of new technological development, can be embodyed on paper and reported so that it can be imitated or
In addition to being protected from unfair competition and achieving proper order, they are published in official gazettes (printed materials) and made available to everyone all at once, and are a step toward the creation and development of better research and technology through free literary use. This has significantly stimulated and promoted development activities in the world, and has played a major role in raising the level of science and technology and in industrial and economic development. Publish, use, and print functions
This means that the function of encouragement and stimulation has been added.

3) Next, industrial standardization developed in the wake of the industrial revolution,
It has played the role of the foundation that supports today's industrial and industrial development. In other words, by promoting standardization and establishing standards that incorporate simplification, production, distribution, and consumption will be rationalized, quality will be improved, costs will be reduced, delivery times will be shortened, services will be improved, and other benefits and disadvantages will result. The development of modern science and technology cannot be imagined without industrial standardization. In Japan, national standardization (JIS, etc.) has been adopted in areas necessary for promoting resource conservation and energy conservation, quality improvement, development of industrial infrastructure, and promotion of the development and dissemination of new technologies. Internationally, the need for international standardization (ISO, IEC, etc.), which establishes uniform standards through cooperation and repeated agreements among many countries, is increasing with the remarkable progress in internationalization of technology. I've been doing it. Furthermore, when looking at patent systems around the world from the perspective of standardization, although they are generally moving towards unification based on the Paris Convention, the patent systems of each country are slightly different, and standardization is slow in terms of forming patent procedures, etc. domestically. There are many points.

4) Next, when it comes to electronic devices, there are many revelations that can be learned from a historical look at the development of electronic engineering, which has supported and flourished today's cutting-edge technology.

The transistor is a revolutionary solid-state amplification device that replaces the conventional vacuum tube, and it was created as a result of more than 20 years of research by Shockley.

Although IC is an extremely simple and Columbus-like idea of fabricating multiple elements on a single chip, it has become so important that it is said to be the backbone of today's industry, giving birth to the IC industry. During the development stage, semiconductor processing technology was not involved,
Although it took a lot of time and money, the motivation behind its appearance and practical use was supported by national developments such as the United States' space exploration, which ignored economic considerations.

With the successful commercialization of LSI and VLSI, they have become even smaller, lighter, and more reliable. A computer incorporating these devices has an innovative meaning in that it supplements the human brain activity, whereas conventional machinery supplements the function of the human limbs.

Computers are already progressing year by year and are playing an important role in making daily life more convenient, but the limits and nature of their capabilities must be carefully assessed and the scope and method in which they will be utilized must be considered.

Even if a fifth generation computer emerges, which requires about 100 times more power than current large-scale computers, it will approach the human brain in terms of "reasoning"; The main character is a human being, not something with replaceable abilities.

This is because humans have a unique thinking pace that includes intuition, trial and error, analogy, induction, and deduction, and they also have a wonderfully flexible brain mechanism that allows them to select and choose these methods as needed. . Computers, which exhibit unparalleled ability in computing speed and data processing, are also a combination of on-off operations. Therefore, it is unavoidable that inventions that require creativity and patent procedures, which are their specific processing, must basically rely on the flexible thinking of human intelligence. What is important, therefore, is to reduce the amount of attention and energy consumed by formal paperwork, documentation, confirmation, etc. associated with the above-mentioned tasks by utilizing computers, etc., and to utilize the creativity that only the human brain can do. The goal is to create a system that allows one to concentrate on examining things, ideas, and basic matters.

5) Next, objectively analyze the current issues and devise countermeasures.

Even in the field of patents, which deals with cutting-edge technology and has played a role in the development of science and technology as mentioned above, there has recently been an increase in the number of patents on the applicant's side who carry out patent procedures and the origin of patents. Various issues have been pointed out at the Japan Patent Office, which carries out examinations, trials, and administrative processing following procedures, as well as in the industry, which utilizes inventions.

One of these is that the number of applications has increased due to industrial development and is expected to continue to grow, and the content of applications has become more sophisticated.
Examinations are becoming more complex and take more time, and the examination period is becoming longer every year. If left as is, the review period will increase from the current two and a half years to seven in ten years.
It is predicted that this matter will last for about 20 years and could develop into a problem that could seriously affect the significance of the examination system and the functioning of the patent system.

In this way, the fact that the granting of rights takes a long time affects the new technology and commercialization of ■■, so it is rather a problem for the applicant and the company itself, and it is also a problem for the industry, so some kind of comprehensive solution is needed. It will become necessary to expand the If the patent system is equivalent to an unsung hero that supports the progress of science and technology and the development of industry and industry, it is important to analyze the current situation at an early stage because the ripple effects are large, and there is still a possibility that it will become more serious. It is important to formulate advance countermeasures that anticipate the future.

Therefore, when we analyze the reasons why the number of applications is so large in Japan, we find that: (a) Industry and the economy have continued to grow rapidly for over ten years.

(b) In addition to the patent system, there is a utility model system.

(c) Due to the first-to-file system, there is a tendency to apply quickly.

(d) There are a large number of defensive applications by companies.

(e) There are many one-off improvement inventions and applied inventions.

(f) There are few basic inventions that are organized into series.

(g) There is a shortage of patent personnel at companies.

and so on. The reason why the number of applications is increasing despite guidance on proper application is due to the structural reasons (a) to (b) in the first half.
), it can be seen that this is based on reasons (c) to (g) on the applicant's side.

Furthermore, although Japan is said to be one of the world's leading technologically advanced countries, the ratio of foreign applications to its own domestic applications is overwhelmingly small. The ratio is 10% in Japan and about 15% in the United States.
0%, and about 200% in West Germany.

Furthermore, when comparing basic developments in recent years according to development reports, the US has 50, while Japan has 2. It has been pointed out that although it is said that the two countries are on par with each other in terms of industrial production technology, they have to admit that they are inferior in their ability to conceive, foster, and develop new ■■■ technologies.

Therefore, when we analyze these reasons, we find that (a) an industrial system in which there is an overwhelming amount of product development research that prioritizes corporate profits, and there is little basic, large-scale development (such as space development);

(b) It is a social system that is not based on ability and is different from Europe and America.

(c) Differences in basic awareness and culture regarding pioneering development, originality, frontier spirit, imitation, etc.

(d) A development structure centered on improvement, application, and mass production technology that was formed through the era of technology introduction and mass production.

(e) (d) to (g) in the reasons for the increase in the number of applications mentioned above.
)The reason for.

(f) Single-clause claims have been around for many years (multiple-clause claims were also adopted in 1972).

(g) Language handicap and economics of application. (Comprehensive necessity of translation), etc.

Although some of the above-mentioned circumstances and reasons are institutional or structural, and even a slight modification is difficult, the majority of the issues lie in improving the applicant's development system and patent system, which is the origin of the application. By doing so, we can expect that structural issues will be covered and resolved almost comprehensively.

As mentioned above, the patent system was one of the key players in providing the technical foundations and mechanisms that enabled paper, text, printing, industrial standardization, and electronic equipment to play a role in the development of science and technology and the prosperity of industry. It is to utilize it for modernization.

In other words, among the many issues mentioned above, there are important issues such as a dramatic increase in the number of interconnected applications, cooperation in promoting examinations, multi-item applications, strengthening of the foreign application system, level-up, human resource development, and promotion of technological development. The key point is the procedure document (printed material)
This can be solved by standardization, mechanization (use of electronic devices, etc.), standardization and clarification of writing formats, improvement of procedural systems, development of operational technology, etc.

The procedure document (printed material) consists of several pieces of paper. Sometimes a piece of paper is just a piece of paper.

However, written documents used at important points that have a ripple effect, such as procedural documents, which embody intangible technical ideas, can be used by multiple people who have the ability to think flexibly and creatively through visual perception. It acts as an important connection that connects the human intelligent computer and the intelligent computer to produce a synergistic effect. Or, it acts in a standardized manner that produces a single type of procedure.Therefore, the written document (printed material) can easily be inputted into a human computer through the visual sense, and it can also be inputted into electronic devices. Easy. It is desired that it be a universal form that is standardized, formalized, unified, and ergonomically compatible. Especially in the important areas of technological development and its protection, if it is to be used in many cases and many times by many people and become established semi-permanently, only the specialized knowledge and craftsman's know-how gained from many years of experience are needed. We believe that this will lead to the modernization of the patent system, which is so complex that it is often dismissed as a specialized field.

Group issues (companies, countries) are also a collection of individual procedural issues, so the optimal documents that form the basis of each procedure and the techniques for using them are key points in resolving the overall issue.

Inventions are essentially the creation of technical ideas, so they cannot be made into machines or computers. Furthermore, it is impossible for a machine or computer to carry out the work of embodying the invention and drafting an explanatory manuscript, or the work of drafting an intermediate explanatory text such as a response. It requires not only specialized knowledge but also creativity in drafting a draft. Furthermore, since each invention and each response is new and different, it would be difficult to input a large amount of information.

As mentioned above, the fifth generation computer, which connects many large computers and inputs a lot of information, distributes it, and processes it in parallel at the same time, is called artificial intelligence.
If we have only come close to human intelligence to the point where we can reason on our own to a certain extent, then if its abilities, characteristics, and limitations are fully recognized and it is used in harmony to supplement human abilities or take over the parts that are lacking. That's good, and that's the desired state.

Therefore, if the key point for modernizing the patent system is a document that is handled by many people, the basic form of the document is (1) A typical explanatory text unique to patent procedures. A form that also sets standard patterns (sentence patterns) and standardizes the explanation format uniformly.

(2) A form that saves labor by separating parts of the explanatory text that can be repeatedly described mechanically and parts that are difficult to describe without relying on human intelligence, making creation and discrimination clearer.

(3) Each page of the manual where the explanatory text should be written ■Standardized format.

(A page with a description section that accommodates a standard amount of information and a common page that should be supplemented with explanations in the description section and standard columns) (4) A printing form in which the sentence format of each explanatory sentence is in a standard format.

(Comparison format between example documents, explanatory documents, and manuals) (5) Parts that are difficult to describe without relying on human intelligence should be written regularly and uniformly so that they can be confirmed by multiple parties and their thoughts can be easily fused.
Also, it should be a standard printed document that is easy to compare and contrast, and it should be in the form of a list that is systematically organized.

(6) A format that allows these manuals, etc. to be easily input and output from electronic devices (document creation machines, electronic computers).

(7) A form in which each page of a document is arranged in a long strip horizontally (in the direction of the writing lines), making it easy to compare and match any page and making the process continuous.

(8) A format that allows for mechanical reading and writing by establishing a procedural system (Form ■).

In this way, the basic form of written documents (printed materials) is standardized, organized, compartmentalized, stylized, ergonomically structured, and adapted to electronic devices in accordance with the characteristics of patent procedures. , because patent procedures are essentially common to groups (companies, countries, the world). It corresponds to the wiring of electronic computers that can be used universally and uniformly, and the molds and molds that form the base of products.

Therefore, all products (procedures) manufactured from this mold should be approximately standardized to the same pattern.

In addition, since it also functions as a template for producing intelligence learning effects, it is possible to improve the level over time and train human resources, and it is possible to improve the basics of multi-claims, series applications, defensive applications, foreign applications, etc. side issues will inevitably be resolved.

In addition, overall issues (b) to (g), (b) such as the increase in the number of applications, the length of time it takes to grant rights, and the small ratio of foreign applications, etc.
It is likely that the reasons for (g) through (g) will be largely resolved.

The modernization of the patent system is also closely related to the modernization of the technology development system. Even if one procedure results in a patent effect of only a few percent, both systems (groups) in many cases and in many years.
It is thought that the effect will be the sum of these, and that it will also produce a synergistic ripple effect.

Many technological innovations have social significance due to their benefits,
Just as the modernization of the patent system includes various problems related to the technology, it is natural that the modernization of the patent system also includes problems that must be considered before practical application. These are issues such as improving the technical level, motivation, and level of workload.

However, these problems can be solved by setting conditions in advance at the implementation stage. It is a matter of selection that must be made after the perspective and importance are fully recognized, discussed, and agreed upon.

The protection of inventions, the protection of burdens, and the optimization of motivational measures are essential conditions for keeping the patent system in good shape and on track. Moreover, it is only through getting things on track that the overall effect is produced, and it is the systematic construction of a new system induced by measures to increase motivation that will lead to permanence.

It is true that Japan is not a large country, and 70% of it is mountainous, and that it has few natural resources to accommodate a large population, and this is an unchanging fate in the future. However, they are blessed with a climate suitable for brain activity, have excellent human qualities on average, and have a high average level of education.

Japan is already said to be a technologically advanced country, but
As a developed country, it is unavoidable that we are in a situation where it is difficult to expect much from the technologies introduced from overseas. However, from now on, as the economy becomes more internationalized and technological exchange becomes more active, we must strengthen our foundation as a trading nation while maintaining our superiority and cooperating with the developed countries of Europe, the United States, and the middle-income industrialized countries. .

Under such circumstances, in order for Japan to continue to prosper in the future while improving its industrial structure and standard of living, creative independent technological development is important, and there is a foundation that should effectively promote this and protect its results. Technology and systems must be developed to achieve this goal.

We are already in an age of space exploration, a time when common human problems should be considered and resolved on a global scale, and an age when industrial economics and the patent system should be based on international cooperation.

Technological developments and results will eventually become public knowledge through patents and become common property for all, but the patent system that has built a system that actively generates and utilizes creativity through technological development and uses it as a stimulant is truly a testament to human wisdom. It is a crystal of Protecting and developing this crystal is the common mission of each generation that should inherit it, and is the basis of common prosperity.

I am convinced that based on this common perspective, a stronger sense of cooperation across regions and races will lead to the protection of the proper development of science and technology and the path to prosperity.

The present invention has been made in view of the important problems in the current situation as described above and in accordance with the spirit mentioned above, and specifically aims to achieve each of the following objects.

The first purpose of the present invention is to modernize the patent system, promote technological development, and strengthen the systematic protection of the results thereof.

In other words, we have created a universal patent procedure manual that is compatible with the essence of patent procedures, ergonomics, and ergonomics by maximizing the mechanisms of paper, text, printing, standardization, and electronic devices that have been responsible for the development of science and technology. The aim is to modernize patent procedures by creating a new form of patent processing.

Patent procedures originally involve most of the processing by human operations,
Although it is said to require skill in a specialized field and deals with cutting-edge technology, it includes some irrational techniques, which is currently causing various problems. Therefore, the quality of the overall patent procedure of the system will be improved by configuring printed matter as a template that should be standardized for mechanization and system operation using wiring that connects multiple intelligent computers and electronic equipment. The aim is to strengthen the promotion of technological development and the protection of its results.

For example, by creating a common input form for basic analysis of each procedure, in which mutually related basic matters can be visually compared and contrasted and considered, patent procedures that are used as standards at each stage of patent procedures and have a large ripple effect. We aim to enrich our books.

The second purpose of the present invention is to electronically and mechanize patent procedures.
, labor saving, efficiency and speed through automation. In other words, an input form in which the basic matters of the patent procedure text are to be itemized in correspondence with symbols is configured to be compatible with a computer, and the input form and the basic page are common and each page has a standard amount of description. The output document is configured to be compatible with an electronic computer, and consists of each page in a fixed format. A manuscript in which the framework of a patent procedure statement is written in a representative format by simply inputting the basic information and codes of the input form into a computer that stores multiple types of frameworks of standard sentence formats of representative patent procedure statements. compose a book.

Documents in which input documents are analyzed by bringing together and merging different types of intelligence (
In contrast to printed documents, output documents are divided into parts that can be written mechanically and parts that cannot be written by machines and should be written by the human brain, making it possible to create a manuscript with only additions and supplements. to save labor. There is a shortage of human resources compared to the wide range of technology, and flexible and excellent technical and patent minds, which are considered specialized fields and are spent on intensive descriptive work, create surplus capacity that can be focused on promoting development and nurturing inventions. That's true.

In addition, under the first-to-file legal system, it often takes several days to complete multiple application documents by hand, which often affects the establishment of rights. The goal is to streamline and speed up the process by utilizing optical reading and even voice recognition writing functions, and to speed up processing and confirmation using standard, continuous strip-shaped documents.

The third purpose of the present invention is to standardize and organize patent procedures to improve the basic system for promoting examinations and trials, and to shorten the period for granting rights, thereby smoothing the operation of the patent system and improving its impact on the industrial world. be. In other words, in view of the current situation in which the period for granting rights continues to lengthen year by year due to the dramatic increase in the number of applications and the increasing sophistication and complexity of the content, we will be able to identify collective applications, multi-item applications, series applications, etc. based on patent analysis of related invention groups. We aim to simplify examinations and appeals through clear applications that have been thoroughly examined based on basic matters, standardized applications that have computer-compatible explanation formats, etc., and solve problems on the applicant's side. Provide ideas. Therefore, we will cooperate with policies that will have a positive impact on industry, such as the protection of new technologies and new products by shortening the granting period of rights, and will facilitate the smooth operation of the system, which requires comprehensive measures.

In addition, documents in which patent procedure documents and patent information are entered into a computer, such as documents that have not been entered by the applicant into a computer terminal, and documents that need to be printed out from a computer terminal in order to understand the content, must be written in the form. By using long strip-shaped documents in the (horizontal) direction, we will clarify the parts to be compared and contrasted, and aim to promote examinations and judgments, and provide a foundation for the direction of mechanization.

The fourth purpose of the present invention is to respond to the internationalization of technological development and internationalization of patents, and to strengthen the foundations of a trading nation.

In other words, while the internationalization of politics and economy is progressing and the technological frontier is evolving, the patent system that supports the basis of industrial activities is also moving in the direction of international cooperation. While the proportion of patent applications filed by foreigners in recent patent applications in major countries is extremely high, the number of applications filed by foreigners in Japan is overwhelmingly smaller than the number of patent applications filed in Japan. In technology trade, it is extremely important to secure patents in the export destination, and there is a great need to file applications abroad. The manuscript of a multi-item application, which can almost be applied to the manuscript of a foreign application (PCT application) at the domestic application stage, is mechanically standardized using the input form and output form, and is structured in series to enrich the content and save labor. The aim is to comprehensively strengthen the foreign application system using the surplus technology and patents generated from this surplus.

Furthermore, in response to the trend toward unification and mechanization of system operation in the world patent industry, we will demonstrate that it is possible to standardize and mechanize patent procedures using computer programs and printed materials, and aim to modernize the patent system.

Therefore, by raising the standard of the technology-patent system, we are planning the correct development of science and technology from common convenience and consciousness, and we are protecting the path to a future of global prosperity.

The fifth purpose of the present invention is to simplify patent procedures, expand the number of inventors by employing electronic computers, improve and popularize patent awareness, and raise the level of patent awareness.

In other words, inventions are originally the result of the creativity of natural persons, and the patent system is for the protection and utilization of inventions.

However, the majority of inventions come from companies, especially large and medium-sized companies. This is partly due to the fact that it is difficult to fully achieve a research development system without the capital and economic power of companies, but also because procedures such as patent applications are specialized and difficult. Hiring a professional agent would place a considerable financial burden on you, and even agents are seen as a courtesy to local communities and the general public. If the total number of engineers in a company is a few thousandths of the general public, the patent system will belong to an extremely limited number of people.

Therefore, in order to actively utilize the creativity of the majority of the general public, it is important that patent procedures be simple and economical. For example, anyone at home or in a small business can easily and economically complete procedures with a personal computer and standardized printed matter (procedure documents, etc.). Furthermore, if procedures can be completed even from rural areas with only a little specialized guidance by mail or telephone, the number of inventors can be expanded, popularized, and awareness improved.
It will be possible to expand the work of patent experts and expand the foundations of a technology-based nation.

Hereinafter, details of the present invention will be explained with reference to examples and drawings. Although the present invention can be applied to patent procedures in general, here, the preparation of a patent specification, which is a documentation of the technical content of an invention at the filing stage, will be explained with reference to the following examples.

Figures 1 to 4 are plan views showing examples of input documents in the patent procedure for the invention, and Figures 5 to 10 are output documents for the patent procedure for the invention (
FIG. 3 is a plan view showing an example of an instruction manual, a manuscript) and a code book.

In the figure, (here, the numbers for the main components are the same as those in related applications, so some numbers are missing.) 1 is the title of the invention column, along with the reference number 7 and the application number 8, as well as the constituent elements. 3a adjacent to the top. The constituent requirements section 3a is provided on the left page of the input document I, and the effect summary section 4 is provided on the right page of the input document I.

Inside these two terms, an explanation line 17 is formed by thin line lines 15 at regular intervals, and a correction line 18 is formed by a boundary line 16 corresponding to the explanation line 17.

Furthermore, both of these lines are provided with a character spacing display 96.

The border line 16 is a thin line even thinner than the line line 15, or a thin line with braille spacing display 96 arranged at regular intervals, or a thin line with braille spacing display 96 arranged at regular intervals.
The line may be a line of dotted lines spaced at regular intervals, and the letter spacing display 96 at regular intervals or each of the above lines may be a dotted line or thin line of a non-photosensitive color.

Here, the explanation line 17, the correction line 18, and the character spacing display 96 are adapted to the size and spacing of characters written by a printer of an electronic device such as a document creation machine or computer, or an interval twice that. be formed. Furthermore, if possible, it is desirable that it be formed to be compatible with an electronic computer such as a photosensitive character reader. This is because documents created with these computers are copied or read and automatically constitute procedural documents. The basic structure of the document in which the above-mentioned constituent requirements section 3a and effect summary section 4 are arranged in contrast is the same as the documents of other embodiments of the input document described later, and each of the instructions and manuscript documents as output documents. It consists of basic pages common to all pages.

Thus, at the left end of the explanation line 17, a line number 17a is assigned outside the margin in order from the top, and at the lower end of the character spacing display 96, a character number 96a is assigned outside the margin in order from the left.

This is because the bulleted short sentence or a part thereof is easily inputted into a computer or the like by being displayed in place of the code on the document and the number.

Now, when the constituent features of the invention are itemized in constituent feature section 3a, a summary of the effects caused by each constituent feature or a combination of multiple constituent features is written in the effect summary section at the same height as the explanatory line of those constituent features. It is described in contrast in the explanation line of 4. Thus, they are displayed in correspondence with codes (for example, writing symbols and line numbers 17a, character numbers 96a).

These two terms are divided by a horizontal line 42 containing a plurality of (4 to 5) explanatory lines 17, and the gist of each invention can be easily confirmed by arranging standard small columns 43 in contrast. . Items that do not fit within one small column 43 may be used across two small columns 43, and the horizontal lines 42 are drawn from time to time according to the number of constituent elements to form a small column 43 with an undefined width. may be done.

In the case of an input document with such a structure, each component and a summary of the effects resulting from each component or their combination are written in a quantitative document with itemized items in contrasting explanation lines for each invention, so both can be easily understood. The cause-and-effect relationship can be accurately expressed and easily confirmed. Those bulleted statements whose mutual causal relationships have been sufficiently analyzed and confirmed will be replaced with symbols and displayed, so they can be written in the appropriate explanatory lines of each section of the output document (instruction manual) to be described later. Create a manuscript that is the framework of the explanation.

At this time, the information can be inputted into a document creation field or a computer, and the memory functions thereof can be easily utilized, providing a basis for mechanizing the description. If one input document I is insufficient, a plurality of input documents I may be connected horizontally to form a short strip as shown in FIG.

Note that the structure of the input document I is not limited to that of the above-mentioned embodiment. For example, each small column 43 is divided by a vertical line 41 as shown in FIG. A component item 32 and an effect summary item 4 may be set on the left and right.

This document is a list of systematic invention points that should be abbreviated by progressively proposing specific examples of inventions, inventions of higher/lower-level concepts, and inventions of peripheral technologies, and can also be used as a patent consultation document. It is almost commonly used as Uru patent analysis book R.

Further, in contrast to the component requirements section 3a and the effect summary section 4, a prior art summary section 12a and an objective summary section 14a may be provided. These items 1 should be placed in the top or bottom two columns of Figure 1.
2a and 14a may be set.

In the case of an input document with such a structure, since the input document and the patent analysis report R have a substantially common structure, the group of inventions can be systematically analyzed, and the mutual correspondence relationship can be sufficiently analyzed. The identified constituent elements and effect summary, as well as the prior art summary and purpose summary, are used to create a manuscript that is the framework of the detailed explanation, and therefore for multi-item applications in which multiple claims and their respective effects are described. This is convenient for preparing specifications.

Next, explanations, manuscripts, etc. as output documents of the patent procedure document of the present invention will be explained with reference to each diagram in FIG. 5.

These output documents O are formed using basic pages (common instruction manual pages) having basically the same structure as the input document I.

The electronic computer that reads the input form I immediately writes the original documents OA to OE. In addition, the corrected and added manuscript documents OA to OE are read to form a fair copy of the patent procedure document.

FIG. 5A shows an embodiment of page A of the instruction manual. On the left page l of this document, there are items for application management, such as assignment section 3, which match the explanation line 17, correction line 18, and character spacing display 96.
9, inventor name section 40, processing measures section 6, etc. are provided. These may be accommodated in the same column as the regular column 43 shown in FIG.

Further, on the right page r of this document, an application positioning frame 5 including application consideration items may be arranged in contrast to the application consideration table T. If these can be published on the left page l, the claim column 3 may be published on the right page r. In the case of a single-claim application, the scope of claims can be written in the size of the claim column on the right page r only, but in a multi-claim application, if there is insufficient space to describe the scope of claims of multiple claims, the description can be written in the common page of the explanation. C is added to supplement the claims. Note that if the left page l is an attached document as indicated by the dotted line, the common page of the manual may also serve as the first page of the manual.

In the first page A of the manual with this structure, the items for application management are arranged in the explanation line 17 of the basic page of the manual that is compatible with computers, so it is different from other pages. Writing and reading can be done continuously and mechanically.

In addition, the items for application management can be placed in contrast to the scope of claims column 3, the constituent elements section 2 and the effect summary section 4 of the input form I, so that the points of the invention can be analyzed and understood, and the application can be managed. can be performed accurately.

FIG. 5B shows an embodiment of page 2B of the instruction manual. On the left page l of this document, the beginning of column 10 for detailed description of the invention is arranged. That is, a starting phrase 19, which is often used at the beginning of a standard patent specification, is placed at an appropriate position in the column.
A section describing the use of the invention 11 and a section describing the prior art 12 are provided separately.

Further, on the right page r of this document, a relay phrase 20 is arranged, and a section for writing purpose 14, etc. is divided and provided. In addition, for general words such as opening word 19 and intermediate word 20, only the words that should be written at the top of the column of the document are placed, and the connecting words 25 that should be placed in the middle and end of the document are omitted and are described later. It may be written only in the code books IA to ID and the example documents F to J.

This is to adapt to the amount of description of each application without limiting the size of the description section.

For the second page of a manual with such a structure, since it is relatively easy to keep the descriptive format constant at the beginning of a standard patent specification, it is possible to further improve the explanatory format by placing general words in appropriate places. Since the information is standardized and the location of each entry is specified, entry and confirmation can be performed accurately, and the effort required to enter the information can be reduced by the number of characters required for general phrases. Moreover, as will be described later, it is possible to provide a basis for mechanically constructing the framework of a patent specification by simply inputting the code of the input document I into the code documents IA to ID or the like or inputting it into a computer.

C in FIG. 5 shows an embodiment of the instruction manual common page C.

As described above, this document is the basic page itself that is the basis of the structure of the input document I, the output document O (instruction manual, manuscript document), and each page of the code document. General words and phrases are not arranged in advance in the column, but are arranged in code books IA to ID and example books F to J, which will be described later. Descriptions of the main components 21, assembly order 22, operation instructions 23, usage methods 24, other examples, etc. often vary greatly depending on the type of technology, so the instructions are common. It is better to write it on multiple pages of page C.

If one dares to standardize the invention by arranging general terms and phrases, standard explanatory text may be set for each group of inventions according to the type of technology, and the general terms and phrases may be arranged by regulating the description section.

Further, this manual common page C can also be used to supplement the explanation by connecting to a part of the standard column of another page where an explanation needs to be added or next to the last page D of the manual as shown by the dotted line.

The common page C of the manual with this structure can flexibly accommodate explanations and additional explanations of parts that are difficult to standardize due to fluctuations in the amount of description as described above, and therefore has the effect of standardizing the manual. be.

E in FIG. 5 shows an example of the instruction manual effect page E.

This document describes the effects of the invention.

In other words, 20 relay words and phrases frequently used in the introduction section of effect descriptions.
is arranged at the top of the document, and a section for describing the main effect 28 and the medullary effect 29 induced by the essential requirements and embodiments of the claims is provided. In this description section, a description of the effects of each invention, which is a combination of the constituent elements of the input form I and a summary of its effects, is written using a computer, document creation machine, etc., and the effects can be described by correcting and adding. Created.

The effects of the invention can be described in two ways: on this page, the effects of each embodiment are summarized, and on this page, only the overall effect (the effect of claim 1) is described, and the effects of each embodiment are described. There is a format that is described after the explanation of the configuration, etc. Therefore,
There is a method of writing these typical examples only in example documents F to J and using common page C for explanation. In addition, a code book containing several types of representative sentence patterns and syntax using the code of the input form I, general words, connecting words, etc. is stored in an electronic device such as a document creation machine or an electronic computer, and the code book is examined using the input form I. One possible method would be to replace the written configuration requirements and the corresponding effect summary with codes and input them into an electronic device, make corrections and additions to the manuscript written on the printer, and rewrite it using the electronic device.

The latter method is efficient in the specification of a multi-item application in a group of inventions with a large number of embodiment sections. The effects of each implementation section are thoroughly described, and if corrections and additions are made thereto, the amount of handwritten information can be reduced.

In addition, from the input document I (patent analysis document), the expression of the recognized inventive idea from the substantive side (composition side) and the attribute side (characteristic side)
It is accurately described while corresponding to the expressions from.

D in FIG. 5 shows an embodiment of the last page D of the instruction manual.

On the left page 1 of this document, concluding phrases 26 are placed in appropriate places to describe the explanation 30 of the drawings, and these are surrounded by a rectangular frame. For example, on the left side, a type of closing phrase 21, ``Figure 1 wa'', ``Figure 2 wa'', etc. are listed, and on the right side there is an explanatory line 1.
7 describes the drawings. Explanations that cannot be filled out are written in the correction line 18, and each line explains one figure.

In the lower part, the closing phrase 21 is not arranged and is added as necessary. Among the main configuration names 31 to be described later, those displayed as A, B, C, etc. may be written.

On the right page r of this document, a concluding phrase 26 is printed on the left to describe the main component names 31, and each component name is written in the explanatory line 17 on the right. In the empty space on the right side, "21...", "22...", etc. should be added as necessary, or "1a..."
", "2a...", etc. may be written.

The last page D of this manual is the input form I (R) as shown in Figure 4.
) can also be used as the last page of an input form for input into a computer. Drawing explanation 30 and necessary configuration names 31
Since these can be determined at the same time as drawings are created, the blank explanation line 17 and correction line 18 to the right of the main component names 31 are used to describe the relationship between them in the cooperation column outline 31.
a may be formed and used as the code book ID, and used as the final page of the input document.

FIG. 5 shows an embodiment in which the pages A, B, C, E, and D of the above-mentioned instruction manual are connected in the horizontal direction to form a strip. It may be written and formed from the beginning in a strip-shaped document,
Each page or 1/2 of the left page and right page are thin strip-shaped connecting pieces 8
may be connected by 3.

There is a feed hole 9 on the side edge of each page that doubles as a file hole and a positioning hole.
9, 100 may be formed. Feed holes 99 and 10
0 and may be arranged in a straight line and connected by a thin connecting piece 83.

The paper that is usually written on printers such as electronic computers and document processing machines is a part of the explanation line 1 of the mechanism of many current printers.
7 (correction line 18) and is connected in the perpendicular direction, that is, in the vertical direction, and is formed in a band shape, it is necessary to separate the pieces at the upper and lower edges of each piece. It was difficult to turn it into a booklet in its original state. However, if they are connected in a band-like direction in the direction of explanatory line 17, the fifth
As shown in the figure, all pages can be stretched flat so that related matters in each section can be compared horizontally, and only the necessary pages can be stretched flat for comparison and verification, and can be folded in a zigzag pattern to form a booklet. It is formed. The feed holes 99 and 100 are used for temporary binding, and can be expanded into a band shape if necessary.

In addition to the fact that each page of this document is made up of the same basic pages as input document I (patent analysis document), this document is continuously operated by electronic devices such as computers, document generators, and photosensitive character readers. It can be done in a specific and common way. For example, these electronic devices photosensitively read and temporarily input (memorize) the basic information written on the input form I, and in conjunction with the pre-input code form, each page A to E of the instruction manual is read.
Manuscript books OA to OE of almost the same type as are formed. Manuscript documents OA to OE form the framework of the specification, and are pages that are written according to the types of basic matters described in the input document I section. The pages that will be left blank will be decided. For example, if the input form I includes component requirements section 3a, effect summary section 4, prior art summary section 12a, purpose summary section 14a, etc., and the basic items of each section are entered, page 1A of the manual Each framework is described in column 3 of claims, page 2 B of the instruction manual, and page E of the instruction manual, leaving blank spaces.

FIGS. 6 to 10 are plan views showing one embodiment of a code book (instructions and manuscripts have the same format as those in which the page codes and line numbers in the columns are omitted).

FIG. 6 is an example of the first page of the code book, which is composed of a document with approximately the same structure as the first page of the instruction manual, and in the claim column 3, a typical claim description format is shown. One is the page code Il, line numbers 1 to 20, and connecting word 25 of the input document I.
It is written using the syntax.

A typical description format of a claim is that the essential requirements are:
IAa... Uniform expression writing format (Dialogue format) IAb...
...Improved emphasis description format (format in...) IAc...Functional description format (dispositional expression format) IAd...It means to be described in an alternative description format (Markush format), etc. In either format, the basic matters should be itemized as essential constituent elements that are indispensable to the composition of the invention, so the constituent elements described in constituent element item 3a in input form I should be connected. Words and phrases 25 are input in advance into an electronic device such as a computer or a document creation machine to be syntaxed into each format and stored, and one of the four types is called up and written.

For this purpose, the codes that should represent each description format, IAa ~
It is better if the IAd is written correspondingly. If one of these codes is specified and the computer is operated, the constituent elements input from the input form I will be described in the specified description format as the framework of the claims. Therefore, by making corrections, additions, etc. to this framework, claims that include constituent elements whose correspondences have been sufficiently examined are written as standard.

Note that the designation of the above-mentioned code can also be performed by forming a calling section 6a that can call up and specify the storage format of the computer simply by writing or marking the processing countermeasure item 6 formed in the input amount.

FIG. 7 shows an example of the second page IB of the code book, which is formed from a document having substantially the same structure as, for example, the second page of the instruction manual. That is, in the correction line 18 of the description section of the prior art 12 where the starting word 19 and the relay word 20 are arranged, the prior art summary section 12 of the input form I is
Codes Il1 to Il4, etc. corresponding to the bulleted sentences in a are written in appropriate locations. In addition, in the description part of purpose 14, codes Ir1 to Ir3 corresponding to the bulleted sentences of purpose summary section 14a of input form I are written in an appropriate arrangement, and in the description part of feature 9, the code of component requirement item 3a is written. Il5 to Il8 are written in an appropriate arrangement and are syntaxed with a conjunction 20a.

FIG. 8 shows an embodiment of the code book common page IC, and includes, for example, a drawing explanation 30 of the code book final page ID that is also used as the input document final page I, main component names 31, and cooperation summary items 31.
The symbols corresponding to each bulleted sentence in a are written in an appropriate arrangement. Then, using a computer, the main component names and their mutual relationships and arrangements are described in the embodiments of the invention with reference to the drawings. The operation explanation, usage method, etc. may be written on the instruction manual common page C as a supplementary explanation.

The amount of these explanations varies depending on the type of invention and is difficult to provide uniformly. Therefore, a common page C without general words and phrases is typically used.

These explanations, which contain many technical explanations, are created by horizontally corresponding the instruction manual common page C, the example document common page H, and the explanatory common page N to form a document in which related parts can be easily compared and verified. You may also request that only this part be written. That is, input form I
Technical explanations, which contain only a few combinations of basic matters and are often written by engineers, are difficult to write on a computer, so they are written in contrasting explanations, examples, and explanations. In addition to teaching formats, leveling up, and partial usage, unification to standard sentence patterns should be carried out.

FIG. 9 shows an embodiment of the code book effect page IE.

It is formed from a document having substantially the same structure as the instruction manual effect page E described above. That is, general words such as relay words 20 are arranged in advance, and correction line 1 of the main effect 28 and medullary effect 29 description section is
8, codes corresponding to the bulleted statements of the constituent requirements section 3a and the effect summary section 4 of the input document I are alternately written. Connecting phrases 25 to connect each component and the effect summary are stored in advance in the computer so as to be appropriately arranged.

The effects of the invention include primary effects induced only from one component and primary effects induced from a combination of multiple components. Therefore, it is necessary to clearly state which component the effect is based on in the effect summary section 4. Therefore, the code and connecting words in the code effect page IE 20
The combinations of a also vary.

In addition, if it is sufficient to write only a part of the clause of one component rather than all of it, if you write the character number 96a next to the code, the computer will automatically read it and write only that part. Let me remember that.

Alternatively, you may write all the clauses of the constituent requirements and delete unnecessary parts.

FIG. 10 is a diagram showing an example of the last page ID of the code book. In principle, the last page ID of the code book is not much different from the structure of the last page D of the manual. This is because the explanation 30 of the drawings and the description of the main component names 31 are only expressed as bullet points, with only a small amount of text being written. If the explanatory text for each figure cannot be written in one line in the drawing explanatory text 30, write it continuously on the correction line 18 or write the explanatory text for each figure in the character spacing display 96a.
If two characters are written between each, there should be enough space for the writing with the arrangement of the closing phrases 26 arranged in advance. Unnecessary concluding phrases 26 may be crossed out with a line or the like.

Here, the code book final page ID differs from the manual final page D in that a cooperation summary section 31a is formed. In this section, the mutual arrangement and assembly of the main component names 31 should be briefly explained in itemized form in contrast to the explanation line 17 and correction line 18 on the right side thereof. Although it does not matter when the last page D of the manual is written, when it is used as the last page I of the input form as shown in Figure 4, the explanation of the structure of the invention, etc. can also be written on the common page C of the manual. This is for the purpose of writing.

FIG. 11 is a diagram showing a state in which an instruction manual or an input document, a text example document, and an explanatory manual are arranged in contrast.

Since instructions and input documents have been standardized and formed in a fixed form, it is better to write them in a standard format.

As mentioned above, if the code book can be written on a computer with a memory stored in it, it will be in the most standard format, but there are exceptions where it is difficult to write on it, such as the common page of the manual where technical explanations are written, or the code book depending on the invention. Items that are difficult to fit into any one format can be arranged in such a contrasting manner that the level of writing by engineers can be improved and standardized.

In the figure, the side edges of the input form I (R), the example input page FI that is marked with the input form, and the explanatory input page LI that is posted on the notes on the input form are connected. It is formed in a short pattern that is long in the horizontal direction (in the direction of the writing line), has related example sentences and explanatory sentences symmetrically adjacent to each other in the horizontal direction, and is easy to compare and collate, and is formed so that it can be folded into a zigzag shape. Give an example.

Similarly, the code books IA to ID, example documents, and explanation books are arranged in contrast to standardize the structure of each page of the code book, and
Manuscripts OA to OD, example texts, and explanatory texts may be placed in contrast and used to standardize corrections and additions.

Figures 12 and 13 show not only procedural documents at the time of filing, but also procedural documents (written opinions, written responses, etc.) for responding to interim acceptance letters (notice of reasons for refusal, opposition, etc.) in intermediate proceedings. It is a figure which shows one example of the input document and instruction manual which create.

Basically, it consists of basic pages that should serve as input documents and explanatory documents for application procedures.

For example, as shown in FIG. 12, similar to the input form that also serves as an analysis report for analyzing the invention as filed, a plurality of standard small columns 43 are arranged symmetrically. In the top column 43 (both left and right pages), a receipt summary section 34a is set in which the gist of the interim receipt is written in bullet points. The left-hand column of the second sub-column 43 is set as the constituent requirements of the citation, and the right-hand column is set as a citation summary section 35a in which a summary of the effects that are derived from the constituent features and should be focused is described in bullet points. Ru. Similarly, in the third sub-column 43, there is set a summary section in which the constituent elements and effects of the matter are listed in bullet points. The column on the left of sub-column 43 in the fourth column is the main differences between the constituent elements of the cited reference and this case, and the column on the right is a summary of the differences in which the main differences in the effect summary between the references and this case are listed in bullet points. Item 37a is set.

If a plurality of citations are posted on the interim reception form, the number of citation summary sections 35a is set for the plurality of citations. The input document I also requires a plurality of pages, which can be connected horizontally in the form of a band.

Each small column 43 may be drawn with a thick line to a size that is large enough to accommodate the amount of information to be written, even if it is not a regular format, and the sections may be set according to the procedure, but two characters may be written in one character spacing display 96. I can do it,
Since it can also be written in the correction line, it should be possible to fit it into the standard small column 43 in many cases.

FIG. 13 is an explanation sheet in which the contents of the procedure manual for responding to the intermediate reception form are described. Although it is different from the instructions at the time of filing, common words and phrases such as frequently used beginning words and phrases 19, intermediate words and phrases 20, and closing words and phrases 26 are arranged, or the parts where they should be placed are formed, and the description on each page is improved. The parts are formed in a regular manner. That is, for example, on the left page of the first page A of the manual, there is set a receipt column 34 in which a summary or summary of the reasons for the interim receipt is written. On the right page, there is set a reference column 35 in which the relay words 20 and the main constituent elements and effect summary of the standard reference are described. On the left page of the final page D of the manual, there are set a relay phrase 20 and a main subject column 36 in which the main constituent elements and effect summary of the present case are written. Further, on the right page, there is set a conclusion phrase 26 and a difference column 37 in which major differences in the structure and effect summary between the citation and the present case are described.

Volumes that cannot be described in each of these columns may also be written in the correction line 18, or a common page C of the manual may be added.

In each column of this manual, the code of the input form I and the above-mentioned constituent elements of the standard response procedure manual are written in syntax with connecting words frequently used to connect clauses, thereby forming a code book. The code book is prepared by selecting several typical standard sentence types as response sentences for intermediate procedures. A plurality of copies of each standard sentence pattern may be prepared, and one copy may be modified to suit each procedure.

Therefore, simply by inputting this code book and the input form I into an electronic device, the framework of the response sentence is automatically written, and original documents OA and OD having substantially the same type as the manuals A and D are formed. Since the manuscript contains the basic matters that have been thoroughly considered, all that is required is corrections and additions, which are then further transcribed using an electronic device with an editing function.

Corrections and additions are made by adding some sort of mark or line with an arrow to the part to be inserted, and are stored in the electronic device so that they are automatically read and written in a line.

Also, the part to be deleted can be automatically deleted by drawing a straight line or the like.

The correction line has the same character spacing display 96 as the explanation line so that it can be read by hand if it is a scale. If the correction line 18 is twice the width of the explanation line 17, corrections can be easily made. If corrections and additions are made using an electronic device, it is easy to read the typeface accurately, so it is easy to read and edit optically.

In this way, input documents, code documents, and instructions (manuscript documents) written on electronic devices that are composed of basic pages with uniform spacing and uniform width and a common basic structure are all the same. Optical reading, editing, and automatic writing can be performed using electronic equipment. Therefore, virtually all the basic items for consideration listed in the input form are written in syntax in the instruction manual, which significantly reduces the effort required to write by hand, and the input form can be reviewed using the remaining resources. It is done with great care and the content is enriched. Also, you can level up quickly.

Note that, contrary to the embodiments described above and shown in the figures, the explanation line 17 may be arranged on the upper side, and the correction line 18 may be arranged on the lower side. The continuation of the bulleted explanatory text that cannot be written in the explanatory line 17 can be continued in the correction line 18 below it, so that the transition can be improved.

Explanatory text that cannot be written in the explanatory row 17 of one column may be written in the explanatory row 17 of the row below it.

Since such manuals are formed uniformly with code books and manuscript books, by arranging horizontally long strips adjacent to and symmetrically at the top, middle, and bottom, each page can be compared and verified. easy. It can also be folded in a zigzag pattern, making it easy to stack and store in the middle.

If only the left edge of the first page at the left end is temporarily fixed to a file mount or the like, it is not only easy to fold and store, but also easy to immediately expand laterally when necessary.

A similar configuration can also be used to arrange the three types of documents, the manuscript, corrections, and explanatory notes, in the same way. Being able to configure these so that they can be easily compared and verified allows standardization of the stylized descriptions on each page of a document with a uniform structure, thereby improving the accuracy of the descriptions.

If you have standardized input forms I, output forms O (instructions, manuscripts, etc.), electronic equipment (computer), and equivalent documents (programs), you can handle multi-item applications, intermediate processing, etc. Even if a document is written in the hands of an unskilled person, patent procedures can no longer be alien to small and medium-sized enterprises and the general public, since they can be completed and entered simply by completing the input document. It's coming. With a little guidance from experts on the invention structure, corrections, etc., it is now possible to write a standard specification for a multi-item application.Inventive activities, which were previously limited to corporate research, have now become commonplace, and the inventive layer has expanded. The aim is to expand, popularize, and improve awareness, and the creativity of the country will be effectively utilized. For example, in the very near future, there will be a growing tendency for personal computers to be introduced into ordinary households, and it will become easier for anyone in the household or local area to apply for a patent for an invention. The patent system will become the property of the people, leading to the expansion of the foundations of a technology-based nation.

Since the patent procedure document of the present invention is configured as described above, the following effects can be achieved.

a) It consists of an input form, an output form, and a code book as described above, and when the basic information of the input form is linked with codes such as line numbers and input into a computer, it becomes a standard code book that is stored in advance. Since a manuscript is created by composing the framework of a formal procedure document, a patent procedure document can be constructed simply by making corrections and additions to the manuscript. The information is shared between three parties, significantly reducing the amount of handwriting required, resulting in labor savings and efficiency. For this reason, it is possible to create additional capacity for examination and analysis using input documents.

Since the basic items in the input form are arranged in a contrasting manner so that it is easy to compare and contrast, it is possible to fully compare and confirm the cause-and-effect relationship between them. Well-considered bullet points are immediately entered and automatically combined with words and phrases stored in advance in the automatic office machine, such as general words and connecting words, to create a syntax, so basically important explanations can be written down. It is possible to reduce leakage, and it is possible to unify the description types into almost standardized patterns.

In addition, since the input documents are formed in a unified and regular manner, they can be clearly checked even by parties other than those specializing in patents, and it is possible to connect multiple intelligences, fuse creativity, and bring together different knowledge. It can promote technological development. In addition, since anyone can uniformly confirm the key points of the patent procedure document at each stage of the procedure, it is possible to improve both the content and efficiency of subsequent procedures.

b) The input form, output form, and code form are composed of a common basic page with standard explanation lines and correction lines that are compatible with electronic equipment, so they can be equipped with electronic equipment and photosensitive. It can be read, edited and written in a unified manner.

In addition, when these side edges are connected to form short and long strips, they can be processed continuously by electronic equipment, and they can be symmetrically adjacent in the horizontal direction, making it possible to create a common basic page structure. This also has the effect of allowing accurate comparison and verification.

c) Since the basic page is composed of line numbers, character numbers, and page codes, the bullet points of basic matters are displayed in place of these codes and numbers, and the electronic device in which the code book is stored is The framework of a standard patent procedure text can be mechanically constructed by inputting the text into a patent application.

Detailed explanations that closely correspond to basic matters are also expressed in bullet points on the same basic page in the instruction sheet, which has the effect of making it possible to compare and check the understanding of the contents and to accurately explain corrections and additions.

d) The basic section shall include explanatory lines (correction lines) arranged in the same number of lines as the number of lines written in the fair copy of the prescribed patent procedure document and adapted to the line spacing of the electronic device, and each line of the fair copy. Since a rectangular section was formed by listing the character spacing of electronic devices and the character spacing displayed at double the spacing in the same number as the number of characters to be written, it is possible to reduce the amount of writing in the fair copy. At the same time, each page can contain approximately twice the amount of information as a fair copy. For documents with many supplementary explanations, two characters can be written in 1/2-large font at one character interval, making it easy to make additions and corrections even if the document has a standard column or section. Furthermore, additions and corrections are made to the manuscript written on the electronic device using the electronic device, which can then be photosensitively read and automatically transcribed by the editing machine, which is extremely efficient.

e) If the basic page is formed in the form of a short strip by connecting the left page and the right page, it is possible to compare and check both the left and right pages, and also to reduce the standard amount of information in a normal multi-item application. You can set several standard columns and sections. It also has the effect of allowing printed characters written by an electronic device to be read by moving them laterally with a photosensitive device.

f) The input form can accommodate 4 to 5 explanatory lines on the basic page 8
- Since the 10 sections (subcolumns) of a fixed width are arranged regularly, it is easy to write and read on electronic devices, etc., and if the width of the sections (subcolumns) is formed in a fixed format, it will be unified. This has the effect of making it easier to identify and confirm information.

g) In the input form, the component requirements section and the effect summary section are placed in contrast on the left and right pages, and within each section, explanatory lines are formed in contrast in the horizontal direction. Since the summary of effects resulting from requirements or their combination is listed in bullet points in the corresponding explanation line, it is possible to accurately confirm causal relationships, and it is also effective to discover new effects and propose new constituent requirements. Therefore, it is easy to systematically expand the invention.

In addition, contrasting line numbers (item numbers) are assigned to each component and effect summary, making it easier to write and syntax the explanation of effects in output documents (instructions) and code documents. There is.

h) In the input form, the above-mentioned prior art summary section and objective summary section were arranged in contrast, and adjacent to the above-mentioned component requirements section and effect summary section, so that the technical problem and its The purpose of the invention to be solved, specific means of solving the problem, and an outline of the effects induced by each of the constituent elements, etc., can be more accurately constructed, and the causal relationships among the basic matters of the invention can be constructed more accurately, and peripheral inventions can be systematically searched. It is easy to confirm them clearly and quickly. In addition, since line numbers (item numbers) are attached, there is an effect that it is easy to mechanically describe or syntax the framework of the prior art and purpose in output documents (instructions) and code documents.

i) The input form is composed of symmetrically arranged small columns that accommodate a certain number of explanatory lines, so the number of constituent requirements and effect summaries written in each column is Even if there are some variations, they are arranged regularly and are easy to describe and confirm. Further, it is easy to read and write mechanically with an electronic computer or the like, and therefore mechanical writing on an output document (instruction manual) can be carried out efficiently.

j) The input form has multiple 1/2-sized rectangular columns separated by vertical lines. Each of the left and right sub-columns can be set to only the constituent requirements section, or to the effect summary section or the schematic diagram section, and furthermore, all the sub-columns can be set to the constituent requirements section, so each sub-column can be used as a mere abbreviation or memorandum. Abstracts are recorded and used in conjunction with patent analysis documents and patent consultation documents to search for peripheral inventions.Therefore, it not only saves money by common use of basic documents, but also mechanizes writing and reading, checks, and application materials. This has the effect of facilitating the accumulation of

In addition, these small columns can be commonly used for memo sheets where only the main points of random ideas by many people, such as brainstorming, should be temporarily written temporarily, and can be used for later analysis. There is.

k) The input form has a specific column, upper/lower columns, and peripheral columns set uniformly in a standard small column that accommodates a certain number of explanatory lines and has a line number. Groups of inventions that are to be explored in a progressive manner are systematically arranged, and points can be clearly and quickly grasped through mutual comparison and consideration. The compositional requirements (main points) of each sub-column can be written on an input form with a common basic structure without vertical lines using a computer, etc., and an effect summary can also be attached. Since the output document is automatically filled in by a computer, there are two types of mechanical operations that can be performed using a machine, from the creation of the patent analysis document (composition of the application ■) to the writing of the output document (instruction manual). This has the effect of making it possible to efficiently perform tasks by commonly using one document, while separating out tasks that are difficult to accomplish and must be done manually.

l) The input form consists of basic pages with explanatory lines and correction lines that are compatible with electronic computers, and the input manuscript form, input correction form, and input fair copy are formed from the input form, so it is sufficiently patentable. The basic matters that have been analyzed and examined are written down on a computer printer. Further, the output manuscript is written immediately after the input fair copy is photosensitively read and input, or the input fair copy is input into the storage function for phrases and short sentences at the same time as the input fair copy is written by the electronic computer.

Particularly in the case of series of multiple multi-item applications, it is possible to reduce the amount of manual entry required, thereby saving labor and speeding up the process.

m) The input form includes an input example document in which examples of basic matters are listed in each of the above sections, and an input explanatory document in which precautions for entry are written in contrast to each section. Therefore, if the side edges of each document are adjacent or connected, it is easier to compare and check the entries in the direction of the explanatory line, and therefore it is easier to compare and check the entries in the direction of the explanatory line. Since the format is standardized, it is possible to uniformly write and confirm a large number of items by a large number of parties, and it also has the effect of making it easier to write and read mechanically using electronic devices.

n) The input form consists of the first section of the input form, which has sections for describing basic matters arranged in contrast, and the section for describing drawings, main component names, and mutual relationships between each component name on the right side. Since it is composed of the last page of the input form, which is arranged in contrast with the cooperation summary section for description, the main structure explanation page (common page C of the manual) also has its framework electronically. It can be written using a device, and therefore it has the effect of saving labor in writing explanations by simply adding or adding. In particular, engineers who are busy with research can simply write down the main component names and cooperation outlines, and the electronic device will automatically write the technical explanation in the order of the component requirements in a patented format. All you need to do is correct and add to the manuscript.

o) The output document and the code document are structured in a fixed format, with standard columns for accommodating the amount of each item of a standard patent procedure document arranged on a basic page common to the basic page of the input document. This document is composed of a common page for supplementing the explanation in the standard column with the basic page as it is, so one set of documents is jointly created by the three parties of office equipment, technology, and patents. Items written on each page can be compared and verified easily, and since reading and writing are commonly performed by electronic devices, operations are easy to perform. In addition, even if the common page of the manual is attached at the end, it can be edited at the stage of fair copying, so even inventions with slightly different manuals can be applied in a standard document.

p) The output book and the code book are connected horizontally in a band shape, the standard columns set on the basic page are arranged symmetrically, and the required pages are laid out flat in the direction of the explanation line and adjacent to the sides. Therefore, it is easy to directly compare and check the related matters on the written surface, and it is easy to be installed in electronic equipment.

In addition, since it can be folded in a zigzag pattern, it is easy to temporarily bind it into a booklet. It has the effect of being optimal for patent procedure documents. In addition, the horizontally long strip-shaped copy is compatible with the paperless system where applications are digitized online and can be automatically accepted using digitization equipment.

g) The above-mentioned output document (instruction manual, etc.) has the first page, second page, effect page, and last page of the instruction document as a standard page for each item of the basic patent specification within the above-mentioned basic pages. Since it is structured in a fixed format with standard columns and sections that should accommodate the amount of information to be written, it is easy to print the basic information of the input form entered into the computer, and the position of the information is almost constant. Since the basic page is formed in common with the input document, it has the effect of facilitating confirmation.

In addition, general words and phrases are easily printed in appropriate places in each column and section, and each page can be formed at will by storing the pattern in a computer. Furthermore, each of these pages can be configured as a sample book or a code book, and has the effect of being useful for standardizing descriptions and leveling up.

These standard pages can be applied to various amounts of explanation by adding common pages, and the functions of the standard pages can be fully utilized.

r) The output document (instruction manual) is made up of the common section of the manual, the common section of the example document, and the common page of the explanatory document, and their side edges are connected to form a strip document, so they can be compared and verified with each other. It is easy to write technical matters in a standard manner. Engineers only need to write mainly on this page, which saves them labor and helps them level up quickly.

s) On the first page of the output form, the application position frame, etc. that accommodates the application consideration items, etc. is placed in accordance with the explanation line and correction line on the basic page, so it is written by a computer and The description is read mechanically. In addition, since the page containing the scope of claims is configured in contrast to the positioning frame of the application, it is possible to accurately compare and check the points of the invention.

t) Each of the first pages of the code book has a representative description format of the claims of the specification written in the form of the code/number of the constituent elements of the input form and connecting words, and is written separately. Since there are multiple types of information, it is necessary to enter the information into a computer in advance and store it, enter the constituent features and codes of the constituent feature items in the input form, and specify the description type, and the scope of the claim can be determined. The framework of is described. Therefore, if the basic description is supplemented or added, a draft of the scope of claim with the constituent elements fully examined will be completed, and it can be completed by rewriting it using an automatic office machine. This is particularly efficient for multi-item applications with a large amount of description.

u) The second page of the code book, the common page, and the effect section include the code and number of each section in which the basic matters of the input form are written, and the beginning words and phrases, intermediate words, etc. of the second page of the manual, the effect page, etc. Since it is composed of each description part syntaxed with the general words and phrases,
Since these are inputted and stored in electronic devices (including computers) in advance, the basic information of the input form and examples of codes and numbers are simply inputted and executed, and the framework of the patent procedure document is completed. The desired manuscript will be described.

In addition, each page of the code book must have the same pattern as each page of the manual, or each page of the manual itself must have the above-mentioned code/number, initial word/phrase/intermediate word/phrase written in each section of the manual. , it is easy to examine and confirm the syntax, and each pattern in the manual is entered into an electronic device and stored, so
The information is immediately written on an output document of the same type as the instruction manual, and a manuscript is created.

v) As mentioned above, input documents formed to be compatible with electronic devices such as computers are not limited to applications for analyzing inventions at the application stage, but can also be used for interim reception forms (notice of reasons for refusal, notice of opposition, etc.) It can be used for analyzing patents in general, such as analyzing patents and considering countermeasures, and the analysis results can be immediately input into a computer to include the framework of the explanatory text in the procedural response manual. can do.

Therefore, even in intermediate procedures that require thorough technical and patent analysis and consideration, the input form has a comparative and standard structure, and basic matters can be compared and verified with thorough accuracy. It is often done.

In addition, well-considered matters are automatically recorded in the standard explanatory text using an electronic device that can store codes, etc., which significantly reduces the effort required to describe the procedures and frees up time for thorough consideration of input forms. This allows you to give accurate responses with clear points.

In addition, the standardized structure of the input document allows for uniform confirmation, so the level of input can be improved quickly, and the standard explanatory text allows the other party and the parties to understand clearly and easily.

As detailed above, the patent procedure document of the present invention and its manufacturing method are based on the analysis and limitations of the development of science and technology, ergonomics,
Since it is constructed with comprehensive consideration of the characteristics of technology and patents, it is considered to be universal and semi-permanent when considering the form of a new patent system.

This was because, as a developer who happened to develop this invention and system on his own, he had a desire to ensure that it was operated correctly, and he had a responsibility and a need to assess the direction of the technology from a historical and comprehensive perspective. This is because I believe that changing the direction of a system once it has started is not desirable, even if some trial and error is permissible. After that, the decision and responsibility for implementation naturally rests with each organization responsible for selecting the system.

It should be added that it would be wrong and harmful to judge this development as merely mechanizing or streamlining patent procedures. Here, the disadvantages are excessive demands placed on both technology and patent personnel due to the priority placed on processing efficiency, and the protection of patent experts.

Patent procedures are extremely deep and specialized, requiring considerable concentration and intense mental work. Just as with technological development, creativity is required everywhere.

Therefore, the addition of the extremely high-density labor of writing long sentences every day on top of such hard labor for the head and brain is both a terrible thing and, overall, a waste of a high level of brain power. It is hoped that by reducing the number of characters that need to be written, even by one character, the extra power will be used to carefully examine basic matters and expand creativity. This will lead to clarity and speed of judgment in subsequent procedures, examinations, trials, cases, etc., and will not only improve the quality of patent procedures, but also promote technological development and strengthen its protection. Therefore, in order to ensure that these are effectively and motivatedly produced, it is necessary to give consideration to both technology and patent personnel, and patent specialists should also give consideration to higher-level work, participation in creativity, foreign application systems, etc. It is only through this that we can live together and hope for comprehensive prosperity.

Just as in the past, the promotion of industrial standardization led to the prosperity of the industry as a whole and the value of craftsmen and other skilled workers to be reevaluated and utilized. The advancement of the employment structure should be based on motivation, and guidance from the Patent Specialist Association and administrative guidance should be expected in response to the trend of frequent bankruptcies.

Inventions have the weaknesses of being individual and being easily imitated. Industrial development was possible because there was a patent system to protect and utilize inventions. Only when the weak are protected can their potential be fully utilized. Engineers, patent officers, and patent experts are invaluable.

The background to the realization of electronic technology and space exploration, in which seemingly unrealistic technologies have been put into practical use one after another, is based on a historical perspective, a foresight into the future, an objective analysis of the current situation, and accurate direction. It is thought that a search was made. In addition to this, there was a strong policy, energy, and long-term commitment to realization.

The realization and effectiveness of new technologies and systems does not happen in a short period of time. Flexible planning and energy that can be used as a springboard to move forward in the event of a slight failure, as well as long-term policies to support them, are essential.

There is much to be learned from the US attitude of respecting originality and aiming not just for immediate profits but for comprehensive benefits through long-term development. Today, the fruits of those developments are widespread throughout the world and are the basis of the American economy.

Most of our country is occupied by mountainous areas and we have few natural resources, so we should learn from the power of long-term attitude, creative development, and policy as mentioned above, and develop comprehensive plans to ensure prosperity for the next generation. The foundation must be established. This is the way to strengthen the path to becoming a technology-based nation.

The development of science and technology is linear due to its cumulative nature, resulting in unbalanced peaks and valleys of development.

We are convinced that promoting the development of these valleys and working toward the common good will lead to the ``common spirit'' that ``science and technology will only achieve lasting prosperity if only those that are favorable to humanity are selected.''
