Starting to get the hang of this …

A couple of months into the Specialist programme, most of the things I’ve been taught about IP have started to settle. I’m starting to know my way around and even the language of patent applications comes quite naturally by now.

During these months we’ve had quite a few senior colleagues teaching us how to write patent applications. I was surprised at first, that people were giving such different advice. Everyone seemed to have their own way of writing and I remember thinking that surely someone ought to know best. As time has passed it has become quite clear that there is no universal best way of writing. There are too many things to consider when writing, depending on the type of invention involved and the purpose of the application. You just have to figure out your own way of writing, picking up advice as you go.

The end of 2011 has been very busy at my home office in Stockholm. I pushed myself quite hard to finish writing a patent application in time for Christmas – and yes, discussing my first draft with a senior colleague revealed “a few” things I need to improve. Now, after a week of vacation, I’m back at it again.
