Document Summary

When one files for a patent a statement of claims is made. Claims are statements that are made at the end of a patent or patent application, which clearly define what aspect/s of the invention the inventor/s claim entitlement to. Dependent claims depend on other claims and both must be read in order to interpret the claim properly; independent claims stand on their own. (e. g. apple: claim (1) a machine methoddevicehaving digital camera independent. Claim (2) the method of claim 1 wherein the display screen is a touch sensitive dependent. ) The statement of claims defines the scope of protection for the patent holders. Patents give the owner the right to exclude others from producing, using, distributing, offering or selling your work to others. Claims are important because in order to enforce this exclusion in a court the owner must prove that what the defendant is using falls within the scope of the owners statement of claims.
