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.
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.
