CIPA Study Guide to FD2: Drafting of Specifications (2023)

A CIPA Study Guide by Iain Russell. First published in 2010 by the Chartered Institute of Patent Attorneys. Fully updated in 2021, with further updates in the summer of 2022 and then 2023.

Preparing patent specifications is the essence of the patent attorney profession. It is where the profession started, and it is a skill which sets patent attorneys apart from others in the IP field. Without patent specifications, there is no patent infringement, there are no validity issues, no concerns over amendments and none of the complications concerning when a fee is due or whether a time limit is extendible. The purpose of the FD2 (formerly known as P3) examination is to test whether you can prepare a UK patent specification to a high standard. This handy guide is designed to help students prepare for the Drafting of Specifications examination.
