Please read and familiarize yourself with the sections of a utility patent on the USPTO website, then read the assigned chapters from the textbook. Use the online video as a reference for drafting your drawings. For your patent application, you should sketch out a black and white drawing of your invention which should clearly show all parts covered in your claims. You will not be graded on your artistic ability. Remember to label each important segment of your drawing with a number that you will reference in your detailed description. Please submit at least one drawing of your invention as a .jpg or .pdf; if one drawing does not clearly describe your invention, please use multiple drawings. Please include a brief description of each of the detailed views of your drawing. You may want to draft your detailed description in the next assignment before submitting your drawings to ensure your drawings are marked up appropriately. The patent drawings should be in the style of a utility patent but do not need to hold the strict formatting requirements of a utility patent.
