Inferential claims, by implying rather than explicitly stating features, allow for broader protection by relying on what someone skilled in the art can logically deduce.
When drafting inferential claims, focus on the core functionality of the invention, thereby enabling a claim that effectively captures the invention’s essence without exhaustive detail.
Employing terms like 'configured to' or 'capable of' enhances the flexibility and scope of the claims, making it easier to defend the patent.
A robust specification supporting inferential claims is crucial; it must ensure that a person of ordinary skill in the art can reasonably infer essential features.
