Original and very outstanding May 9, 2008
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
This is an outstanding book that fills a nice spot for those people who want to go beyond David Pressmans also nice book "Patent It Yourself".
This book essentially laid the groundwork for me, and I have personally reccomended it over the years to many other people I know who are just starting their careers, and they have all found it a very excellent and useful book as well. One possible way to learn patent drafting on your own is to start with Pressmans book, move up to this book, and then round out your edcuation with Landis on Patent Claim Drafting. When I was a patent examiner, I used to like helping pro-se inventors doing their own applications, often rather uninformedly, by recommending the above progression of books to read. As I said before, this book is a real wonder, and, for independent inventors, given the amount of money you might have to otherwise pay an agent or attorney to draft your application, it is well worth purchasing. And even if you do have an agent or attorney prosecute your first application, it is a good book to follow the process along with, and then hopefully in the near future, you will be writing them yourself. And if you want to be a patent agent or attorney doing prosecution, this book, Landis, the MPEP, and a dictionary are the only books you need on your shelf. (By the way, I have never met or talked to Mr. Sheldon, I just appreciate it when people fill a void with a very nice book)
 excellent guide March 14, 2008
This is an excellent guide for somebody who wants to learn about drafting patent specification. This book is for patent professionals, unlike "Patent It Youself" by David Pressman. However, for a patent agent, there are other books that I recommend to follow after reading this book, the books including "Landis on Mechanics of Claim Drafting," "Patent Prosecution --Irah H. Donner," "Software Patents--Gregory A. Stobbs," and in last the online MPEP from USPTO web-site.

This book is intended for beginning and serious patent practitioners as a handbook for patent application draftsmanship. It is contrasted with books such as "Patent It Yourself" by David Pressman in that the latter appears to be directed toward novice pro se applicants. Much information contained in "How to Write a Patent Application," by Jeffrey Sheldon, may be used as study material for the registration examination for patent attorneys and agents (i.e., the patent bar examination). I found it to be an excellent companion to the "Manual of Patent Examining Procedure" (MPEP) which is published by the United States Patent and Trademark Office.

Although the book was originally written in 1992, it is updated yearly to accomodate changes in the law.
