Focus on problems that you will be solving. Talk about prior-art in detail to describe what has been done before and what the problems are. You are telling a story that inevitably leads up to ending statements like: \end_layout \begin_layout PatentParagraph What is needed is\SpecialChar \ldots{} \end_layout \begin_layout PatentParagraph The things that are needed will be put forth as solutions in the next section. \end_layout \begin_layout PatentSection Objects of the Invention \end_layout \begin_layout PatentParagraph It is an object of this invention to \SpecialChar \ldots{} Note that the objects should match the things that are needed as described in the last section. Do not describe the invention here, just the problems that will be solved or the utility of the invention. \end_layout \begin_layout PatentParagraph Still other objects and advantages of the invention will in part be obvious and will in part be apparent from the specification and drawings. \end_layout \begin_layout PatentSection Summary of the Invention \end_layout \begin_layout PatentParagraph In order to overcome blank, we do\SpecialChar \ldots{} \end_layout \begin_layout PatentParagraph The invention accordingly comprises the several steps and the relation of one or more of such steps with respect to each of the others, and the apparatus embodying features of construction, combinations of elements and arrangement of parts that are adapted to affect such steps, all is exemplified in the following detailed disclosure, and the scope of the invention will be indicated in the claims. \end_layout \begin_layout DrawingsDescriptionSection \noindent \end_layout \begin_layout PatentSection Detailed Description of the Preferred Embodiments \end_layout \begin_layout PatentParagraph The details of the invention go here. I will use this area to make reference to the drawings so you can see how it's done. \end_layout \begin_layout PatentParagraph The arrangement in \begin_inset Flex FigureReference status open \begin_layout Plain Layout VisioDrawing \end_layout \end_inset shows an exemplary arrangement of a preferred embodiment. In \begin_inset Flex FigureReference status collapsed \begin_layout Plain Layout VisioDrawing \end_layout \end_inset , one sees a \begin_inset Flex Annotation+Name status collapsed \begin_layout Plain Layout Widget \end_layout \end_inset and a \begin_inset Flex Annotation+Name status collapsed \begin_layout Plain Layout Thing \end_layout \end_inset with a preferable \begin_inset Flex Annotation+Name status collapsed \begin_layout Plain Layout WidgetThingConnection \end_layout \end_inset that enables the \begin_inset Flex Annotation+Name status collapsed \begin_layout Plain Layout Thing \end_layout \end_inset to process the data coming from the \begin_inset Flex Annotation+Name status collapsed \begin_layout Plain Layout Widget \end_layout \end_inset . I think you get the idea. \end_layout \begin_layout PatentParagraph You can either write: \begin_inset Flex Annotation+Name status collapsed \begin_layout Plain Layout Thing \end_layout \end_inset or you can write thing \begin_inset space ~ \end_inset \begin_inset Flex Annotation status collapsed \begin_layout Plain Layout Thing \end_layout \end_inset . They both produce the same thing. \end_layout \begin_layout PatentParagraph I can put things in the margin of the application in draft mode like this: \begin_inset Flex PatentComment status collapsed \begin_layout Plain Layout a comment like this appears in the margin when the application is printed in draft mode \end_layout \end_inset \end_layout \begin_layout PatentParagraph Note that you make and refer to equations like this: \end_layout \begin_layout Standard \begin_inset Formula \begin{equation} E=mc^{2}\label{eq:energy} \end{equation} \end_inset \end_layout \begin_layout PatentParagraph One of my favorite equations is: \end_layout \begin_layout Standard \begin_inset Formula \begin{equation} e^{j\theta}=\cos\left(\theta\right)+j\cdot\sin\left(\theta\right)\label{eq:euler} \end{equation} \end_inset \end_layout \begin_layout PatentParagraph We refer to the first equation as \begin_inset CommandInset ref LatexCommand formatted reference "eq:energy" \end_inset and the second as \begin_inset CommandInset ref LatexCommand formatted reference "eq:euler" \end_inset . The second equation \begin_inset CommandInset ref LatexCommand formatted reference "eq:euler" \end_inset is Euler's equation. \end_layout \begin_layout PatentParagraph It will thus be seen that the objects set forth above, among those made apparent from the preceding description, are efficiently attained and, because certain changes may be made in carrying out the above method and in the construction(s) set forth without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention, it is intended that all matter contained in the above description and shown in the accompanying drawings shall be interpreted as illustrative and not in a limiting sense. \end_layout \begin_layout PatentParagraph It is also to be understood that the following claims are intended to cover all of the generic and specific features of the invention herein described and all statements of the scope of the invention which, as a matter of language, might be said to fall therebetween. \end_layout \begin_layout ClaimsStart \end_layout \begin_layout Claim Claim1 \end_layout \begin_layout Standard This is an independent claim. \end_layout \begin_layout Claim Claim2 \end_layout \begin_layout Standard The method of \begin_inset Flex ClaimReference status open \begin_layout Plain Layout Claim1 \end_layout \end_inset further comprising\SpecialChar \ldots{} \end_layout \begin_layout ClaimsEnd \end_layout \begin_layout PatentSection Abstract \end_layout \begin_layout Standard A simple statement of what the invention pertains to \end_layout \begin_layout DrawingsSection \end_layout \end_body \end_document
