The patent law of the United States stipulates that when submitting a patent application, the inventor must submit to the Patent Office:

Specification;

The most important thing is the instructions. According to American law, the applicant's specification should include the name of the invention, the description of the invention, the description of the way and method of manufacturing and using the invention, and the best way for the inventor to implement his invention. For the above situation, the applicant must truthfully disclose it, and it should be enough for people with professional skills to implement the invention. In addition, the applicant must clearly and specifically put forward the scope of patent protection he requested in the specification. Due to the complexity of the application, if it does not meet the requirements of the law, it will often be rejected by the patent office. Therefore, inventors generally entrust patent lawyers or patent agents to apply on their behalf.
