species claim

Read a random definition: antidissection rule

A quick definition of species claim:

A species claim is a statement that describes the unique features of an invention and defines the scope of protection for a patent. It is like a summary of what makes the invention special and different from other similar things. The claim is important because it helps the inventor protect their invention from others who might try to copy it. It is like a special shield that only the inventor can use to keep their invention safe.

A more thorough explanation:

A species claim is a type of patent claim that is limited to a single invention, such as a specific machine, process, or composition of matter. It is a formal statement that describes the unique features of the invention and defines the scope of the patent's protection.

  • A patent claim for a specific type of car engine that uses a new type of fuel injection system would be a species claim.
  • A patent claim for a particular method of manufacturing a drug would also be a species claim.

These examples illustrate how a species claim is used to protect a specific invention, rather than a broad category of similar inventions. It ensures that the inventor has exclusive rights to their unique creation and prevents others from copying it without permission.

@mastermonkey45: Looking at some of the recent decisions in relation to when they went complete, I'd say it's a good sign. It seems many declines were sent within about 5-6 weeks of completion. Given those were applications that were SENT in January, I'd say that means you're still solidly in the running. :)
