The book includes four main sections: First, a discussion of the story told by each patent, and a detailed method for writing an excellent patent application. Second, principles of litigation-proof patents, including principles for good patent claims, Key Claim Terms, different types of claims, patent value, seminal patents, and writing patent applications. Third, a detailed explanation of the ten most common mistakes in patents, and how to avoid these mistakes.
