What should be avoided when creating a patent title?
When creating a patent title, it’s important to avoid certain elements that may make the title less effective or non-compliant. According to MPEP 606:
“The title should not be descriptive of a particular embodiment, species or range.”
Additionally, you should avoid:
- Unnecessarily long titles
- Overly broad or vague descriptions
- Trademarks or trade names
- Acronyms or abbreviations that are not widely recognized
The goal is to create a title that is concise, specific to the invention, and informative about its nature and purpose.
