functional analog

Read a random definition: attorney-witness rule

A quick definition of functional analog:

A functional analog is a different material, such as a chemical or DNA sequence, that produces the same result as a specified material when used in a certain way. This is often included in patent claims to prevent others from copying their innovations without infringing on their exclusive rights. It is also known as an equivalent or analogue.

A more thorough explanation:

A functional analog is a different material, such as a chemical or DNA sequence, that produces the same result as the specified material when used in a certain way. This term is commonly used in patents to prevent others from copying their innovations without technically infringing their exclusive rights.

  • A patent for a new drug may include a functional analog, which is a similar chemical compound that produces the same therapeutic effect as the original drug.
  • A patent for a new electronic device may include a functional analog, which is a different component that performs the same function as the original component.

These examples illustrate how a functional analog can be used to protect a patent holder's exclusive rights. By including analogs in their claims, they can prevent others from creating similar products or processes that produce the same result.
