JIPA SEMINAR Washington, DC October 29, 2013 Washington, DC October 29, 2013 JIPA SEMINAR Session: Claim Drafting for Electrical and Mechanical Patents (Exercise)
Introduction Brief introduction about me: - 2nd year patent attorney at WHDA. - Worked at LG Electronics in Korea as an engineer before entering the legal field. Now that Mr. Schertler has completed a lecture on claim drafting for Electrical/Mechanical Patents, it is time to practice. All examples are edited from published U.S. Patent Applications and Office Actions. I will give you 1-2 minutes to read the claims, and we will discuss the sample answers afterward. JIPA 2013 2
Exercise 1 1. A wireless communication apparatus for in-flight entertainment system in an aircraft cabin comprising: wireless communication apparatus conversion adapters. 2. The wireless communication apparatus according to claim 1, wherein: to be connected to a portable data device owned by each passenger also have a function as a PCI card. the wireless communication apparatus conversion adapters JIPA 2013 3
Exercise 2 12. A method of converting liquid to a form which comprises passing the form through a cylindrical constriction to increase the velocity of the form passing therethrough, Note: specification only discloses a process of converting a form to a liquid. JIPA 2013 4
Exercise 3 1. A golf ball washer comprising a housing, a first body of absorbent material fixed to a portion of the housing, and a second body of absorbent material, wherein both the first and second bodies are rotated. JIPA 2013 5
Exercise 4 6. A bombardment-resistant coating for structures which comprises an inner layer of shock resistant material and a thick external layer formed of asphaltic concrete containing mineral fibers. JIPA 2013 6
Exercise 5 1. A Mach-Zehnder optical modulator comprising: a join-and-branch portion; two output light waveguides connected with the join-and-branch portion; arm electrodes; light intensity detection electrodes respectively provided on the two output light waveguides; and a leakage suppression electrode provided between the arm electrodes and the light intensity detection electrodes. 6. The Mach-Zehnder optical modulator according to claim 1, wherein the light intensity detection electrodes and the leakage suppression electrodes are connected to a common voltage source. JIPA 2013 7
Exercise 6 1. A pattern recognition equipment that matches feature parameters extracted from an input signal against a finite state machine of a tree structure in which a recognition pattern is represented by a path leading from a root to a plurality of leaf nodes to adopt the most likely state transition path reaching the leaf node as a recognition result, comprising: reachable leaf nodes from the each state so that the reward increases in value with an increasing number of leaf nodes reachable. means for calculating a reward according to a number of JIPA 2013 8
Exercise 7 1. A computer-readable recording medium which records a program causing a computer, which processes transparent images each expressed by transparent superimposition of a target and a background different from the target, to realize: transparent images each including the target at a plurality of times; a transparent image acquiring function of acquiring the JIPA 2013 9
Exercise 8 [Before Amendments] 1-5. (Original) 6-9. (Canceled) [After Amendment: Applicants would like to add 4 new claims] 1-5. (Original) 6-9. (New) JIPA 2013 10
Exercise 9 3. A golf ball washer comprising means attached to a shaft for manually rotating a rotatable body. 6. A washer as defined in claim 3, wherein the means for rotating said rotatable body is omitted. JIPA 2013 11
Exercise 10 1. An ultrasonic diagnostic apparatus comprising: heart based on a reception signal obtained by transmission and reception of the ultrasound to and from the heart; an image forming unit which forms an ultrasonic image of the JIPA 2013 12
