a. Prepare a list of standard terms in use, that is the list of
relevant terms for describing the invention.
See for example Method C9 for developing a Standard vocabulary. The
terms used 1 are drawn from the Text1 and Drawings1.

Every scientific discipline has standard terms, accepted and understood by
scientists worldwide. Preferably, each term here should be that used in the
scientific discipline relevant to the invention, with a reference to an
accepted document defining it.

The standard terms are used to describe the invention. These terms are the
building blocks for describing the invention clearly and unambiguously.

b. Structure definition, including the components with the
interconnections and/or interrelations between them, using mathematic
terms. The components are described using the standard vocabulary of
step (a). Thus, an invention description will define a specific structure.

The above structure definition may be used to evaluate the Novelty issue
in Patent Law, providing a scientific, quantitative answer to the question
whether two structures are identical, or if similar - to what degree.

c. Description of the use, function, application or benefit of the above
structure/embodiment . This is an important inventive aspect, since
a known structure may be used in a novel, unexpected application.
An invention has to have Utility, some useful function. A new structure
which does not have a specific function and use is not an invention.
The use also identifies the profession of a person knowledgeable in the
art for the Non-obviousness test. The result is the Invention formula(TM).

The mathematical structure may also indicate how it works, how the components
of the disclosed structure interreact to provide the above use/function.

A sound technical basis should be presented by the inventor - the working
model required in the past was not a bad idea, after all: It is only too
easy to put words to paper, even if there is no technical basis whatsoever
for them; let them sweat it out, to prove it does not work!

If not a model, then references to technical literature where support for
the technical claims can be found or a report of some practical tests made.

Preferably, the use is described using standard terms from step (a).

d. The advantage over prior art [4593]. An invention has to advance the
state of the art in some way, to do it better, faster, more precise, in a
structure which is smaller, bigger, sturdier, lighter, softer, etc.
This may address the Non-obviousness issue, for a person knowledgeable in
the art would have done it if there were a benefit in doing it, or:
If it is Novel and there is an advantage - then it is Non-obvious.

An invention may be disclosed in a patent document (i.e. in the claims and
description), a scientific document, a product description, etc.

Each such description may be rendered to a mathematical expression as
detailed above, to be capable of being read and processed by computer.
A computer can search millions of patents, scientific and other documents,
and find very fast, whether there is a similar or identical structure,
for the same/similar use and offering the same/similar advantages.
