How to Draft Claims - Part 4 - Independent and Dependent Claims. EP012

Update: 2018-02-06

Description

In this episode I go through the differences between independent claims and dependent claims and why you should have a mix of broad independent claims and narrower dependent claims in your patent. Dependent claims serve as backups in case your broad independent claim is found invalid and I go through some examples of how these are drafted.
