Just what every patent attorney needs February 27, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful

I read this book and immediatly manadated that all of my attorneys read it as well. I also recommended it as essential reading for my law school students. Ron may call himself "old school" but in my opinion his way of thinking about patent claims is the only correct way. I've employed and taught Ron's claim drafting strategies for many years and although I might hate to admit it, I learned a lot from this book.

I wish I had this book when I was first starting out 17 years ago. Instead, I read the claim construction decisions and learned on the job. Claim drafting really is an art form and Ron's book gives you the framework necessary to begin crafting patent claims with a purpose.

I was thinking about writing a text book about how to draft patent applications, but now I'm not so sure I could add much to what Ron has written.

Absolutely Essential February 27, 2008
2 out of 2 found this review helpful

The first thing that needs to happen whenever any patent attorney/agent starts in the IP section of our law firm is to require them to sit in their office and read this book cover-to-cover. Any billable hours lost in this endeavor will be replaced with an exponential increase in the quality of patent applications that the person will be able to prepare going forward. Every chapter brings a new revelation about how an invention should be claimed and, perhaps more importantly, should not be claimed. Slusky's book makes clear what the objective of a patent attorney/agent should be with respect to patent protection, which is not so obvious when attorneys/agents receive their training on the job. I only wish that I had read this book prior to preparing a single patent application.

A Rare Treat for Patent Attorneys February 26, 2008
I have known and worked with the author for over 30 years. I was always impressed with his clarity of expression and in his teaching abilities. This book is no exception. I particularly like his choice of familiar inventions to use as teaching points. And just as new inventions are exciting to engineers and scientists, capturing the essence of an invention is exciting to patent practitioners. In this book, Ron Slusky has provided a rare treat for those of us who labor in the field of ideas.

A terrific book. The only one of its kind... February 26, 2008
As a law school professor who includes a heavy dose of claim drafting exercises in an intro patent course, I was *delighted* to find this book. It teaches claim drafting with appropriate respect for 'high theory' and 'practicality'. The author is a master of the art/science of claim drafting and this book lets you sit at the feet of the master!
