A quick definition of IDS:

Term: IDS

Definition: IDS stands for Information-Disclosure Statement. It is a document that lists all the information that an inventor or patent applicant knows about their invention that may affect the patentability of their invention. This document is submitted to the patent office to ensure that all relevant information is disclosed during the patent application process.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: IDS is an abbreviation for Information-Disclosure Statement. It is a document that is submitted to the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) by a patent applicant to disclose any prior art or information that may affect the patentability of their invention.

Example: For example, if a patent applicant is aware of a publication or a product that is similar to their invention, they must disclose this information in an IDS. This is important because the USPTO uses this information to determine whether the invention is novel and non-obvious.

Another example: Let's say a company has filed a patent application for a new type of smartphone. In their IDS, they disclose that there is already a similar smartphone on the market. This information helps the USPTO determine whether the company's invention is truly novel and non-obvious.

Overall, an IDS is an important document that helps ensure that patents are granted only to truly novel and non-obvious inventions.

Feeling like sad drinking tonight, wife accidentally tossed out my truck keys and those are expensive as fuck to replace. The crappiest part is that the key chain had the "remove before flight" tab from my first aircraft's rocket pods overseas from 6 years ago. Then find out people fucked around and back dated reports at work making me look like a shit bag so I am working later tonight and missing range time which is my weekly relax/me time. Add in my sleep meds stopped working, so I am thinking vodka (so I stay skinny and hot) and pizza by the fireplace kind of friday.
