What is a Patent Claim ?

A patent claim is a part of a patent application or an issued (granted) patent that defines the scope of protection granted by the patent.

Essentially, it is a legal description of what the inventor has invented and what they are seeking to protect.

The claim sets the boundaries of the patent rights. It specifies what is new about the invention and what is considered the inventor's contribution to the field.

This is the most important text within a patent and it is always clearly labelled.

However the exact placement and formatting can vary depending on the jurisdiction and the specific formatting guidelines of the patent office where the patent was filed. However, looking towards the end of the document after the detailed description is a good general rule.

The following describes the structure and format of a US jurisdiction patent. In a patent document, the claims section, which outlines the scope of the invention's protection, is typically located at the end of the document. This section is crucial as it defines the exclusive rights granted by the patent. To locate the claims in a patent document, you can follow these steps:

  1. Front Page: The front page of a patent document usually includes the title, abstract, inventors, assignee, filing date, and sometimes a representative drawing. The claims are not found on the front page, but this page provides a good summary of the invention.

  2. Drawings: Following the front page, there are often drawings that illustrate the invention. These are helpful for understanding the invention but do not include the claims.

  3. Specification: This is the detailed description of the invention, explaining how it works and how it is different from prior art. The specification section includes a background and a detailed description of the invention. It provides context for the claims but does not contain the claims themselves.

  4. Claims Section: After the specification, you will find the claims section. This part of the document sets forth and defines the patent’s scope of exclusive rights. It describes what the patent covers or does not cover. Each claim is usually numbered, starting with "1". The claims are the most crucial part of the patent, as they legally define the protection scope of the patent.
