Subject
The subject section identifies what the disclosure is about. It describes the item, work, or system being disclosed.
Subject fields should be factual and descriptive. They clarify what is covered without introducing new claims.
Use the subject identifier if you need a stable reference across related disclosures.
Why the subject matters
A disclosure is only useful if a reader can tell what it covers. The subject section defines that boundary.
What belongs here
- The name or title of the work, item, or system.
- Descriptive details that help a reader identify it correctly.
- A stable identifier when one is needed across related records.
What does not belong here
The subject section should not carry the main claims of the disclosure. It identifies the object of the declaration; it does not make the declaration by itself.
