Clarity and Precision: Separating the claim limitation helps define the scope of the claim. It helps ensure that all parties involved clearly understand the rights and obligations associated with the patents.
Breakdown of the claim complexity: Claim limitation helps break the complexity of the claim as the patents are drafted in a complex manner.
Facilitates Comparison: FTO analysis involves comparing the features of a proposed product or process with the claims of existing patents. Separating claim limitations allows for a more straightforward comparison, as each limitation can be individually assessed against the proposed product or process.
Enhanced communication for analyzing the infringement risk: Clear presentation of claim limitations in a separate section of the patent documentation facilitates communication between patent attorneys, FTO analysts, and other stakeholders involved in the analysis process. This clarity improves the efficiency and effectiveness of FTO assessments and decision-making.
