When Lee, a Patent Agent, Draws Up the Petition for a Patent

question 25

True/False

When Lee, a patent agent, draws up the petition for a patent for a particular invention, she must submit detailed specifications of the invention, usually along with drawings of it, and a statement as to what is new in this invention and what uses it can be put to. Lee can leave out an essential feature of the invention until the patent is granted, so that no one browsing through the patents pending descriptions could steal the idea.
