"Presents a comprehensive approach to analyzing inventions and capturing them in a sophisticated set of patent claims. A central theme is the importance of using the problem-solution paradigm to identify the 'inventive concept' before the claim-drafting begins. The book's teachings are grounded in 'old school' principles of patent practice that, before now, have been learned only on the job from supervisors and mentors"--P. [4] of cover.
