Patent Application Drafting authored by Morgan D. Rosenberg: The proper drafting of a patent application takes into account technical breadth, legal strategy, conformance with a vast number of rules and regulations codified in U.S. statutory law, guidelines issued by the United States Patent and Trademark Office, and over a hundred years of constantly evolving case law. Present texts on the drafting of U.S. patent applications generally fall into two categories: First are the weighty legal treatises that focus on theory and case law to the detriment of practical information; second are the "patent it yourself" books, which are very basic and limited in scope, and thus not of much use to a practicing patent attorney or patent agent.

Patent Application Drafting: A Practical Guide actually teaches the drafting of patent applications from a practical perspective. Intended as an introductory text, it covers the entire patent application and includes many helpful examples illustrating the process from start to finish. It is written for novice patent attorneys, agents, law students, and for those preparing for the patent bar exam.

    "I can only hope that each and every novice practitioner and newly minted Patent Examiner is handed this book on their first day. I don't know if reading a book can be considered a form of 'mentorship,' but this book is certainly the best attempt at old-fashioned teaching methods (i.e., the ones that actually worked) I've ever come across."
