Title of the Invention
The title of the invention is required to be specific and clear enough to denote the specific invention claimed. General and indefinite titles such as "Apparatus", "Chemical Compounds" and "Process" are not acceptable to TIPO.
Abstract
The abstract is usually a narrative summary of the generic claim(s) in a patent application. The patent rules in Taiwan require the abstract to depict the general formula of the chemical compounds for which a patent is sought.
Detailed Description of Invention
The patent rules in Taiwan require the description of the invention be drafted with respect to the following section headings:
(i) Technical field(s) to which the invention relates.
(ii) Prior art.
(iii) Content of the invention.
(iv) Mode for carrying out the invention.
(v) Brief description of the drawings.
The order or manner in which the description of the invention is drafted may differ from the format required above so long as a better understanding of the nature of the invention can be attained. Further, section (v) may be omitted if drawings are not submitted.
Description of the relevant prior art is required to be presented in the specification. The extent to which the prior art is described depends on the applicant’s best knowledge of the state of the art. Therefore, the applicant does not bear any statutory burden to disclose information to which the applicant’s attention is drawn after the patent is filed.
The brief description of drawings (figures) needs to be drafted in clear and concise language with respect to each and every drawing in sequence. Description of symbols (reference numerals) for major constituent parts (components) present in the drawings should be listed against their name in the specification.
Particularly regarding the inventions in chemical and biological fields, working examples describing the experimental methodologies and results (data) are usually required. Generally, patent examiners at TIPO do not consider theoretical examples (without actual data) when assessing the enablement requirement.
