Regulations

Artículo 39

La memoria descriptiva del invento se deberá presentar en texto formando cuerpo aparte e incluirá una descripción de lo conocido en la materia, una descripción de los dibujos (si los hay), una descripción de la invención y un ejemplo de aplicación, cuando corresponda.

La descripción de lo conocido en la materia comenzará introduciendo el campo de aplicación preferente de la invención, citando el problema técnico que ésta aborda y hará una referencia a las soluciones dadas a dicho problema, procurando que estas soluciones sean lo más cercanas y actuales posibles -desde el punto de vista tecnológico- destacando sus inconvenientes o desventajas técnicas.

La descripción de la invención es una explicación detallada y clara de la invención en referencia a las partes o piezas numeradas de los dibujos si ellos existieren y debe ser lo suficientemente completa como para que cualquier persona especializada en el sector industrial al que se refiere pueda "reproducir la invención".

Cuando la invención comprenda un material biológico vivo, incluyendo virus, o su procedimiento de obtención, de tal manera que la invención no pueda ser reproducida cabalmente en la memoria descriptiva, el Departamento podrá solicitar que dicho material sea depositado en un organismo internacionalmente reconocido para tales efectos, debiendo indicarse la institución y número de registro respectivo.

El ejemplo de aplicación de la invención consistirá en una exposición detallada de, a lo menos, un modo de realización de la invención y podrá apoyarse o ilustrarse con ayuda de los dibujos si los hubiere, de tal forma que sirva para hacer reproducible la invención.
