`
`INSTRUCTIONS FOR KEEPING RESEARCH RECORDS
`In addition to providing a complete record of your laboratory work which can be under-
`stood and repeated by yourself and others, this notebook has been designed to afford
`maximum patent right protection. Several practices must be followed to give the notebook value as a
`legal document in possible patent litigation:
`I. Enter all data directly into this book: it is permanently bound with
`numbered pages so that pages can not be substituted or deleted. Insert
`a piece of carbon paper between each original and duplicate page in turn
`such that a copy of all dates, data and signatures are made as work
`progresses. These copies should be removed from the book and given
`to your group leader. Do not record data elsewhere for transfer into the
`book. Write in ink. Never make erasures. Thus, the integrity of the
`record will not be in question.
`2. Record sufficient information. All procedures. reagents. apparatus.
`sketches, conditions, references. etc.. should be entered in the book
`as the work is done. The purpose and significance of the experiment as
`well as the observations. results, and conclusions should be made clear. What
`may seem trivial at the time may later prove of critical importance. Your
`entries should be clear and complete enough for someone else who is
`"skilled in the art" to read and comprehend what has been accomplished.
`Avoid sweeping negative statements, e.g.:"This procedure is worthless,"
`which could later limit the scope of your claims.
`3. Not only is the conception of an invention important, but so is the dili-
`gence shown in making a working model or demonstrating that the
`idea works—"reducing the practice." These two elements of an invention,
`conception and reduction to practice, must be corroborated by a witness.
`The records of the inventor(s) are not enough. Thus, each page of the
`notebook should be read, witnessed, and dated (daily, if possible) by
`someone who is competent to understand it, but who does not claim to
`be a co-inventor. Charts, tables. etc., should be complete, and lines should
`be drawn. through any blank spaces prior to witnessing. It may be wise
`to perform key experiments in front of one or more witnesses. Spectra,
`charts, etc., should be signed. dated, witnessed, and if they can not be
`permanently attached to the notebook, they should be referred to with
`an entry in the book and kept on file. Dates and witnesses can establish
`your priority of invention.
`4. To delete an entry. draw a line through it so that is still legible.
`Corrections should be made adjacent to the deleted entry, and they should
`be initialed and dated by you and the corroborating witness. Changes
`made after the page has been witnessed should also be initialed and dated
`by you and the witness. Always use the current date.
`5. The notebook and its contents are to be considered confidential and of
`great value. Exercise every care in preserving them. Report the loss or
`theft of a research notebook to a group leader immediately.
`6. Index the contents and return each book as completed (or when not in
`use) for filing.
`7. New ideas must be recorded and witnessed as they occur to establish
`priority of invention. Even ideas which do not pertain to the project at
`hand should be documented in the book.
`
`Keep your research records as if each project were to be patented. Even though the work contained
`in the book may not result in a patent application, observance of these practices
`will provide a clear record for reports, publication, or future reference.
