    About this ebook

    PATENT DRAWING LABELLING

    Now that you have had your patent drawings completed by the patent illustrator, the next step is to label your drawing. "Label the drawing? What is that?" I get this from inventors all the time. In this chapter we will discuss what is the purpose of adding reference lines and numbers on a drawing, and how a well labeled drawing can help you write a good provisional patent specification. We will also show you how to label your drawing yourself.

    Why Label Your Drawing?

    Labelling the drawing is one of the most important part of preparing your patent application. Many inventors do not know why the drawings are labelled. When you send your invention document to the patent office, you will not be there to explain the details of your invention, you will not be able to pull your invention apart and explain how things will work. The drawing, the reference numbers and your written explanation will do the explaining for you. Therefore, what you explain is very important. Think about it like this: Provisional and Non-Provisional Patent drawings are created to be explained. The explanation of the invention is in the drawing. The drawings can only be explained properly by use of reference numbers and lines. The reference numbers are names of parts of the invention and the reference lines can be compared to your finger pointing to the parts you are explaining. If the drawing is not properly labelled it cannot be explained properly. If the drawing is not explained properly the strength of the invention will be weak. After a drawing is filed, you cannot come back to explain something new or something you forgot to mention. How to make sure your drawing is properly labeled?

    Adding Lines and Numbers To Your Patent Drawing

    Deciding what parts to label on a completed drawing, and what reference numbers to use is usually the responsibility of whoever is writing the patent specification or explanation.

    Introduction

    LETTER TO INVENTORS

    It is a responsible thing to see a problem and take the bold step to solving it. You have taken the step forward by creating something that will not only help humanity, but also serves as a public record for many years to come. A record that can be built upon and referenced by other aspiring inventors like you. In so doing, you have joined a long list of inventors through time. Inventors such as Thomas Edison and the light bulb, Henry Ford and the mass production of cars, or, more recently, Tim Berners-Lee and the World Wide Web. With that in mind, consider this: Inventions are invented by people, but sometimes people must also invent machines to perfect their inventions. It is less than likely you will need to invent another machine to perfect your invention so, in this case, you are the perfecting machine.

    Invention is not a thought that should be left to a machine or another person to carry through to perfection. To invent something, you need to first reinvent yourself. You, the inventor, needs to get involve in seeing your invention through to completion. The experience can be rewarding. Contrary to belief, invention, from conception to market does not have to be a difficult journey. There are many help available, but where do you start? An old sailor’s proverb states: Without direction no wind is the right wind. This book is the direction needed to turn the winds of your passion into the perfect wind. The book is not meant to give you official legal advice. It is simply a workbook/resource/motivational material with the right information to help you complete your goal. The information from the book details the experiences of Autrige Dennis, Owner, and Senior Illustrator at ASCADEX Patent Illustrating Services, LLC. It documents experiences gained through my work with thousands of inventors, patent attorneys and innovative companies. The book also draws from my experience working on countless patent drawings and handling patent documents across every conceivable invention ideas, large and small throughout the years. Many products I worked on can be seen in Walmart, Target and many other stores around the world. Some of my clients went to Shark Tank and successfully got funded for their invention. Some of these inventors first contacted me when they had their idea and so benefited
