Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 124 / Thursday, July 1, 2021 / Notices
(Fed. Cir. 2014) (the inventor ‘‘admitted
that he never performed the
experiments described in the . . .
patent, and yet he drafted the examples
in the specification entirely in pasttense language.’’). No results should be
represented as actual results unless they
have actually been achieved.
Distinguishing prophetic examples from
working examples in a clear manner
will avoid raising issues relating to the
applicant’s duty of disclosure.
Best Practices
When drafting a patent application,
care must be taken to ensure the proper
tense is employed to describe
experiments and test results so readers
can readily distinguish between actual
results and predicted results. Any
ambiguities should be resolved so a
person having ordinary skill in the art
reading the disclosure, including those
who may not have the level of skill of
the inventor, can rely on the disclosure
as an accurate description of
experiments that support the patent
claim coverage. It is a best practice to
label examples as prophetic or
otherwise separate them from working
examples to avoid ambiguities. Such
presentation will help a reader easily
distinguish prophetic examples from
working examples with actual
experimental results and will enhance
the public’s ability to rely on the patent
disclosure.
Andrew Hirshfeld,
Commissioner for Patents, Performing the
Functions and Duties of the Under Secretary
of Commerce for Intellectual Property and
Director of the United States Patent and
Trademark Office.
