460 | <strong>Patent</strong> it YOURSELF Section A contains a glossary of words used to describe parts and functions of inventions. Section B contains a glossary of legal terms and their definitions as used in patent law. A. Glossary of Useful Technical Terms This Glossary 1 provides a list of useful words to describe the hardware, parts, and functions of your invention in the specification and claims. The most esoteric of these words are briefly defined. While some definitions are similar, this is due to space limitations; all words have nuances in meanings. If you’re looking for a word to describe a certain part, look through the list for a likely prospect and then check a dictionary for its precise meaning. If you can’t find the right word here, look in your search patents, in What’s What or another visual dictionary, or in a thesaurus. If you can’t find an appropriate word, you’ll probably be able to get away with “member” or “means-plus-a-function” language. Also, for new fields, you may invent words, preferably using Latin or Greek roots, as Farnsworth did with “television,” or by extending the meaning of words from analogous devices (e.g., “base” for a part of a transistor). Very technical or specialized fields have their own vocabulary (e.g., “catamenial” in medicine, “syzygy” in astronomy); look in appropriate tutorial texts for these. The words are grouped loosely by the following functions: 1. Structure 2. Mounting and Fastening 3. Springs 4. Numbers 5. Placement (Relation) 6. Voids 7. Shape 8. Materials and Properties 9. Optics 10. Fluid 11. Electronics 12. Movement 13. Rotation/Machine 14. Biology. 1 Expanded and used with kind permission and thanks from a list originally prepared by Louis B. Applebaum, Esq., of Newport, Rhode Island.
