Abstract
An ever increasing number of US patent applications originate outside the US. There are important substantive and formal considerations regarding how to prepare the original application to provide a beneficial combination of ease of obtaining allowance and breadth of protection of the resulting US patent. Translation issues are important where the originally written application is not in English. Several factors are discussed regarding how to prepare the original application to facilitate an accurate translation. Several formal and substantive requirements for US patent applications are also reviewed. These will influence writing of any priority application. Consideration of tthese and other translation issues and practice requirements when preparing original applications will greatly improve the efficiency of subsequent US patent prosecution and the quality of result.
