Definitions

  • This disclosure relates generally to drafting a patent application and, more specifically, to organizing element numbering.
  • a clean, professional-quality patent application sequentially numbers the patent elements as they appear in the text of the Detailed Description.
  • One example numbering sequence starts at the numeral 10 and proceeds by even numbers (e.g., 10, 12, 14, 16, etc.). In another example, the sequence starts at 100 and proceeds by even numbers (e.g., 100, 102, 104, 106, etc.).
  • One labor-intensive and time-consuming aspect of the patent drafting process is keeping track of the numbering for the elements. During the process of drafting the patent application, paragraphs of text are often moved (e.g., cut and pasted) to different locations in the document, which jumbles the numbering sequence.
  • the numbering sequence may change to distinguish the embodiments.
  • an apparatus may be numbered 100, 102, 104, 106, etc. in a first embodiment, and numbered 200, 202, 204, etc. in a second embodiment, where like numerals indicate like elements from the previous embodiment.
  • the process of keeping the element numbers sequentially ordered and matched among embodiments is time consuming, even more so when the numbering sequence changes when text is moved to different locations within the document.
  • the computer system includes a processor, a computer-readable memory coupled to the processor, and a computer-readable, tangible storage device coupled to the processor.
  • the computer system further includes program instructions, stored on the storage device for execution by the processor via the memory, to generate a patent element name, to generate a patent element number associated with the patent element name, and to display the patent element name and the patent element number within the document.

  • a GUI screen 340 is illustrated that allows the user to define a numbering scheme by selecting an element base number 342 and a sequencing number 344.
  • the element base number 342 is set to "100,” meaning that the first element number is 100. Accordingly, the first element, named “housing,” has the element number 100.
  • the element base number 342 could be 10, 1000, or 1.
  • the sequencing number 344 defines how the element number will sequentially proceed. In the illustrated example, the sequencing number 344 is set to "2," meaning the element numbers will sequentially increase by twos.
  • the element numbers increase by twos (e.g. , 102, 104, 106).

  • a table 348 is constructed within the database 118 to store a plurality of patent element names 350, corresponding patent element numbers 352, and location information 354 such as bookmark, page number, line number, and column number for each entry.
  • Each element number 352 is assigned a unique identifier 356, such as a bookmark in popular word processing programs.
  • the element naming step 246 may be carried out within the GUI screen depicted in FIG. 3. The naming step 246 includes entering the element name 350 into the Add Element field 358 and clicking the "Add" button, which causes program instructions to be executed that will enter the data into the table 348.
  • the element naming step 246 may be carried out within the word processing document.
  • An element name may be highlighted and upon entering a keystroke, such as CTRL-4, program instructions are executed that add the highlighted text to the table as a patent element.
  • the element name may be a single word, or a phrase.
  • An element number is also generated for the new patent element corresponding to the numerical sequence chosen by the user in the define numbering step 238.
  • a New Name Decision Step 260 compares the highlighted element name with those names already in table 348. If the element name is unique, e.g., new, a Calculate Element Number Step 262 is executed.
  • the step 262 may comprise scanning down the list of element numbers 352 and creating the next sequential number in the list according to the rules defined in the define numbering step 238.
  • a Create Bookmark Step 264 then adds to the table 348 the unique identifier 356 to pair the element name 350 and element number 352 together.
  • the cite may simply cross reference the original bookmark. In this manner, if the bookmarked element name or number is subsequently changed, all the cross referenced citations will automatically change with it.
  • the method further includes a Create Autotext Step
  • autotext is a feature that allows the user to create a field for a word or phrase that is used often within a document. When the first several characters of the field are subsequently typed within the document, the user is prompted to autocomplete the field.
  • the Create Autotext Step 266 may utilize the mechanics of this feature by creating an autotext field for the element name and number.
  • an autocomplete function may prompt the user to insert the element name and number. This assures consistency and continuity for all cites of the element name, including in the claims. By citing a cross reference to the original bookmark, as explained below, consistency is further assured in the element numbering.
  • a new element number is not generated and an Insert Cross Reference Step 268 may be performed.
  • a cross reference refers the reader from one part of the document to another. The cross-references could be entered manually, but as the document is revised, the cross references may need to be updated manually. To alleviate the potential for mistakes, and save time, the cross references may be entered as fields and the copies of the cross reference fields may be subsequently updated.
  • a cross reference to each element bookmark 356 may be created comprising the element name 350 and element number 352.
  • the Insert Cross Reference Step 268 inserts a cross reference to the bookmark.
  • the modified autotext feature executed in step 266 will prompt the user to autocomplete the cross reference information.
  • the element name and element number are displayed in the document, either as a bookmark or a cross reference.
  • a cross reference may be inserted into the document from the GUI screen 340.
  • an element 350 may be highlighted from the table 348 and by clicking on the Insert button 372 the element name and corresponding number is inserted into the document.
  • the New Name Decision Step 260 not only compares the highlighted element name with those names already in table 348, but also checks if the associated element number is out of sequence with element numbers preceding it. This situation would occur if a portion of text containing the bookmark was cut and pasted to an earlier portion of the document.
  • the description of the "annular seat 114" (FIG. 3) in patent application docket number 123- 4567A may be cut and pasted in the document to a new location between the description of the "support member 102" and the "outer sleeve 104.”
  • the element number 114 assigned to the name "annular seat” is now out of sequence.
  • the New Name Decision Step 260 may also scan each element number and, if the sequence is interrupted, may renumber the element numbers 352 to restore proper sequence defined by the rules in the define numbering step 238.
  • the updated listing of patent elements would comprise "support member 102," "annular seat 104," and "outer sleeve 106" (not shown). Consequently, the bookmark and autotext functions are updated at steps 264 and 266, respectively, which concurrently updates all cross references to the updated bookmarks.
  • the procedure has the waterfall effect of renumbering all the bookmarks to restore proper sequencing, and updating all cross references to the bookmarks. In this manner, sections of text may be moved around in the document without jumbling the element numbers.
  • the New Name Decision Step 260 may also be utilized to rename an element.
  • an Edit button 374 may execute instructions that enable the user to rename an element.
  • the element name associated with the bookmark is updated at step 264, and all cross references to the bookmark are updated.
  • the Display Step 270 places the patent element name, either when initially inserted or re-inserted by cross reference, outside and one space in front of its bookmark. In other words, only the element number is placed inside the bookmark. This permits the user to alter the element name at any specific location in the document without altering its bookmark element number.
  • the element "retainer nut 112" may be altered to read “retainer nuts 112" or "nut 112" without affecting the bookmarked/cross referenced element number.
  • an Altered Names Module 376 may be generated to identify which element names have been altered from the original bookmark name. As may be appreciated, a change to the bookmark will subsequently update cross referenced names, but may not update properly if the names have been altered.
  • the Altered Names display may be configured to allow a user to locate and manually update the altered element names.
  • the user may wish add a new element name and number without "waterfall" updating all subsequent element numbers. This situation may occur if the patent application draft and drawings are essentially complete, and a new element needs to be inserted in the middle of the text. Under normal circumstances, the program instructions would update all subsequent element numbers, requiring that the completed drawings also be updated. This may be cost-prohibitive.
  • a Fix Number Module 378 allows the user to define a unique element number and bypass the automatic numbering scheme. Bookmark and subsequent cross referencing functions may still be carried out, but the element number would not update.
  • a notation 380 such as an "X" may be graphically displayed on the GUI screen 340 to indicate a fixed number.
  • the cross reference module may be adapted to operate on element numbers (or fields) within electronic files comprising the patent drawings.
  • a patent application is composed in Microsoft Word ® and the accompanying drawings are composed in Microsoft Visio ® .
  • the fields containing the element numbers in the Visio document may be cross-referenced to the element number bookmark in the Word document. In this manner, a change in the element numbering sequence in the Word document would be reflected in the Visio document.
  • a patent drafter may wish to insert leading numbers (LNs) before element numbers to denote like element numbers of differing embodiments, or like element numbers on different Figures.
  • a patent element with a base number 30 may be expressed in Figure 1 as 130, in Figure 2 as 230, and in Figure 8 as 830.
  • a patent element with a base number 30 may be expressed in a first embodiment as 30, in a second embodiment as 130, and in a third embodiment as 230.
  • one may characterize the element number as consisting of a root element number (e.g. , 30) and a leading number (1, 2, 8, none, 1, 2, respectively) in front of the root number.
  • the method for drafting a patent application further includes a Generate Leading Number Step 282, or module, shown in greater detail in FIG. 4.
  • Module 282 may include a Designate LNs Step 484 in which the user defines which leading numbers, if any, are to be utilized in the patent application. After compiling a candidate list of leading numbers, the user may select one in particular to be used in the current section of the patent application. The selection may be carried out with the assistance of a GUI comprising a drop down list, in one example. The selected leading number is held in a register until changed by the user. In one example, the user may apply leading numbers to patent element numbers individually, or to all automatically.
  • a Calculate LN Prefix Step 486 checks to see if the root element number is less than 10 and, if so, inserts a prefix "0" to the leading number. This technique has the same effect as inserting a leading "0" in front of the root element number. Upon completion of the leading number checks and adjustments, the leading number prefix may be applied to the root element number at an Apply LN Prefix Step 488.
  • step 488 An implementation of the Apply LN Prefix Step 488 may be better appreciated with reference to FIG. 5, wherein the base leading number (selected in step 484) is "2." However, in the illustrated example the total number of elements exceeds 99, so leading number prefixes must be added to the leading number 2. The effect of step 488 is to display cathode support member 2004, nozzle 2008. spray gun 2Q12, and outer sleeve 2042. Higher-number, extrapolated elements may include 2102 for element 102 in the series. In this example, the leading numbers have been sin le -underlined, leading number prefixes, if required, are doubled underlined and the root element number is not underlined.
  • an Element Size Decision Step 490 scans through the list of root element numbers and, if the next number in the sequence results in a value greater than 100, the user is prompted and may elect to increase the relative size of the element number by one digit.
  • an affirmative election to increase the size of the element number at step 490 would result in the first element being updated from 102 to 1002 (at Update LN Step 492), the 49 th element being updated to 1098, and the 50 th element would be updated to 1100.
