A few words from the editor

A few words from the editor

If I have seen a little further it is by standing on the shoulders of giants.

- Issac Newton

If you want your views to be known, we now open this monthly review to columnists, bloggersand IP practitioners. Send us an email at [email protected] and lets discuss how we canwork together. We also accept advertorial and advertisement placements.

Structure of this review

The Table of Contents is created based onalphabetical order of IPC. The patent applicationsare also sorted by alphabetical order of IPC. A briefdescription of each IPC is shown. We nd that the IPCdescription could help ‘deciphering’ the abstract of anpatent application. If a patent application belongs tomultiple IPC, the patent application will only be shownunder the section of rst IPC.

For each patent application, the following informationwill be shown:

1. App. No. – patent application no. – it is uniqueto each patent application.

2. Assignee – this is owner of the patentapplication. If there is no assignee beingspecied, either the inventor of the patentapplication own the patent application or theowner of the patent application did not recordsuch information when the patent applicationwas led.

3. Title – this is the title of the patent application.

4. Abstract – this is the abstract of the patentapplication. There are rules on how an abstractshould be drafted. Most patent attorneys like tohave the abstract based on the rst claim of thepatent application.

5. Pri. Date – priority date – it is the dateof ling of the rst application of the patentapplication (a patent application could havemultiple application dates because of divisionalpatents as well as overseas patent applications).It is considered to be the effective date of lingfor the examination of novelty and inventivestep or non-obviousness for the subsequent

application claiming the priority of the rstapplication.

6. App. Date – application date – it is the date ofling of the patent application at the US.

7. Pub. Date – publishing date – it is the date of thepatent application published by US. Usually, it isabout 18 months after the application date.

Patent Index is a numerical sorted list the patentapplications appeared in the review.

IPC Catchword Index is an alphabetical sorted list ofcatchwords of the IPC appeared in the review.

How to use this review?

For creativity stimulation purpose:

• quickly ip the pages and write down the pagenumber of the diagrams that interests you forlater review.
