How is the extent of patent protection determined?
The extent of protection is primarily determined by the claims written in the patent application. These claims must be interpreted in light of the provided descriptions and drawings. Proper interpretation ensures the boundaries of the invention are clearly understood. This standard for determining protection is found in Section 75 Intellectual Property Code of the Philippines. “75.1. The extent of protection conferred by the patent shall be determined by the claims, which are to be interpreted in the light of the description and drawings.” January 3, 2026About Nicolas and De Vega Law Offices
