failure-to-disclose-best-mode rejection

Read a random definition: kindlie

A quick definition of failure-to-disclose-best-mode rejection:

A failure-to-disclose-best-mode rejection is when someone applies for a patent but doesn't tell the government the best way to use their invention. This can happen if they deliberately hide information or if their description is too confusing. The government can reject their application because of this. There are many other types of rejections for patents, like if the invention is too similar to something that already exists or if the description is too wordy.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: A type of rejection in patent law where a patent application is rejected because the inventor did not disclose the best way to use the invention.

Example: If an inventor creates a new type of glue, but does not disclose the best way to use it, the patent application may be rejected for failure-to-disclose-best-mode. The examiner must find that the inventor deliberately concealed the information or that the description was so poorly written that it amounted to concealment.

This type of rejection is important because it ensures that the public has access to the best way to use the invention. Without this information, the invention may not be as useful or effective as it could be.
