Drafting Patent Claims Patent claims form the legal foundation of any patent application, defining the boundaries of protection and serving as the basis for enforcement. This presentation will guide you through the intricacies of claim drafting, from basic principles to advanced strategies across different jurisdictions. The present session explores the historical development of claims, their anatomy, various classification systems, jurisdictional differences, and best practices for creating effective claim sets that withstand both examination and litigation challenges.
