The pre-drafting phase of the patent process is essential for building a strong and defensible patent application. This begins with detailed discussions with the inventors to thoroughly understand the novel features, technical intricacies, and potential applications of the invention. This is an iterative process that helps in capturing the essence of the invention, thereby ensuring that no critical details have been overlooked. Based on these discussions, an invention disclosure document is prepared, which serves as a comprehensive record of the invention, including its design, function, and potential variations.
