Read a random definition: separation order

A quick definition of read into:

Term: READ INTO

Definition: When talking about patents, "read into" means that a patent claim has all the same features as something that already exists. This means that the patent claim has been anticipated and the patent will be denied. It can also mean that the patent claim describes something that is already being used by someone else, which is called infringing. If all the patent claims read on the other product, that product infringes the patent.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: To interpret or understand something in a particular way, often with a negative connotation.

Example: When the boss didn't say anything about my work, I read into it and assumed she didn't like it.

Explanation: In this example, the person is interpreting the boss's silence as a negative response, even though they don't have any evidence to support that conclusion. They are "reading into" the situation and assuming the worst.

Definition: In the context of patents, to contain all the same features of a prior-art reference or to describe an infringing product or process.

Example: If a patent claim reads on the prior art, it means that the claim includes all the same features as a previous invention. This can lead to the patent being denied. Alternatively, if a patent claim reads on another product, it means that the patent covers that product and the owner of the patent can take legal action against the infringing party.

Explanation: In the context of patents, "read on" means that a patent claim is similar to a previous invention or an infringing product. This can have legal implications for the patent owner and the infringing party.
