Crash course on U.S. patent law

the long version

"Are you an inventor, law student, patent engineer, patent agent, or patent attorney? Great, keep reading; this book was designed for you. This book is simply written in layman's terms so that not only the expert patent attorney but also the novice inventor can understand. I know that there are numerous books on patent law in the market; this book is by no means a substitute for them and should be read in conjunction with them. Why read this book? It is the only book on the market that provides concrete examples, including boilerplate language generated from my patent experience that is not found on the Internet. I wish I'd had a book like this when I first started my patent career. We will start with an introduction on patent law. Next, we will talk about the requirements for patentability: novelty and non-obviousness. Next, it will be useful to focus on 101 patentability. Then we will discuss claim drafting and prior art and prosecution history search, followed by the contents of a provisional application and patent application or specification. We will then talk about responses to office actions or amendments. Finally, it might be useful to dive into opinions, followed by the conclusion"--Page v.
