Claims
1. Claims should give complete definition of
required protection range, including new basic
contents of the invention or creative steps. One
element or more can be used to define different
aspects of invention; elements should be listed in
numerical order, and element number one should be
defined the most.
2. Claims should be clear, interrelated, and should
define the essence of the invention, not
characteristics, in a definite way to facilitate
verification of protection range without having to
consult the detailed description or the explanatory
graphs unless absolutely necessary.
3. Each element should be phrased to distinguish the
innovative step or the new section of range of
protection, i.e. the subject product should be
defined by its contents, and technical
characteristic followed by "distinguished by…",
followed by indication of all new or innovative
peculiarities of the product distinguishing it from
other known products.
4. Claims should be of a definite range in
comparison to revelation in the detailed description
section.
