Internal Organization of a Patent
The internal organization of any patent is quite predictable. Certain elements are mandatory, such as the specification, one or more claims, and the abstract. The sections that compose the specification may not always be explicitly identified in the text, but the conceptual sequence of the patent is almost always the same.
A published patent begins with a cover page issued by the authority that is responsible for granting the patent. This page provides all reference numbers, dates, names of patentees and inventors, and other administrative information. Each item is preceded by a number in parentheses, called an INID (internationally agreed numbers for the identification of data) code. This code allows the critical data in the patent to be extracted regardless of the language used on the cover page.
The patent proper, then, begins as follows:

The above-mentioned structural components are not always compulsory and can appear in different order.
Title of invention
The title of the invention (or an introductory portion stating the name, citizenship, residence of each applicant, and the title of the invention) should appear as the heading on the first page of the specification. Although a title may have up to 500 characters, the title must be as short and specific as possible
The title of the invention should be placed at the top of the first page of the specification unless it is provided in the application data sheet. The title should be brief but technically accurate and descriptive and should contain fewer than 500 characters. Inasmuch as the words > “new,” < “improved,” “improvement of,” and “improvement in” are not considered as part of the title of an invention, these words should not be included at the beginning of the title of the invention and will be deleted when the Office enters the title into the Office’s computer records, and when any patent issues. > Similarly, the articles “a,” “an,” and “the” should not be included as the first words of the title of the invention and will be deleted when the Office enters the title into the Office’s computer records, and when any patent issues.

Abstract of the disclosure
A brief abstract of the technical disclosure in the specification must commence on a separate sheet, preferably following the claims, under the heading "Abstract" or "Abstract of the Disclosure." It may not exceed 150 words in length. The purpose of the abstract is to enable the Patent Office and the public generally to determine quickly from a cursory inspection the nature and gist of the technical disclosure.
The language which is applied in the abstract of the disclosure is similar to that used in usual scientific paper abstracts.
Example:
An airfoil section imparts an aerodynamic lifting force to a butterfly valve to overcome its quiescent static unbalance to cause the valve to assume a minimum pressure loss configuration during fluid flow there over. The valve cross-section itself may be an airfoil, or an auxiliary airfoil may be attached to a conventional flat plate butterfly valve. Stop means are provided to prevent movement of the valve past its minimum pressure loss orientation. |
Аэродинамический профиль сообщает поворотной заслонке подъемную силу, необходимую для того, чтобы вывести заслонку из состояния покоя и заставить ее принять положение, соответствующее минимальным потерям давления при обтекании потоком. Аэродинамическим профилем может служить само поперечное сечение заслонки; либо к обычной плоской поворотной заслонке можно прикрепить вспомогательный аэродинамический профиль. Чтобы предотвратить движение заслонки за пределы положения, соответствующего минимальным потерям давления, предусмотрены стопоры. |
