Can I include detailed descriptions of the drawings in the Brief Description section?
No, detailed descriptions of the drawings should not be included in the Brief Description section of a patent application. According to MPEP 608.01(f):
The specification should not normally describe the drawings in detail, but should concentrate on defining the invention.
The Brief Description section should only contain:
- References to each figure by number
- A concise explanation of what each figure represents
Detailed descriptions of the drawings and how they relate to the invention should be reserved for the Detailed Description section of the specification.
