4.1.3 Description

Overview

4.1.3 Description 

The contents of the description do not require close scrutiny – it is sufficient to identify a document (or documents) that appear(s) to include a description. If, instead of filing a description, the applicant files a reference to a previously filed application, see A‑II, 4.1.3.1.
