A quick definition of laudatory words:

Definition: Laudatory words are words used to describe something in a positive way, often to make it sound better than it really is. In patents, these words are used to describe the quality or features of an invention, but they are not allowed in utility-patent applications. However, they are allowed in plant-patent applications.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Laudatory words are descriptive but self-serving and conclusory words used to praise the quality or features of an invention. For example, words like "faster" or "more effective" are laudatory words.

In patent claims, laudatory words are usually not allowed in utility-patent applications. However, they are allowed in plant-patent applications.

  • "This invention is the best on the market."
  • "Our product is the most innovative and revolutionary."
  • "This technology is faster and more efficient than any other."

These examples illustrate how laudatory words are used to describe the quality or features of an invention in a self-serving and conclusory way. They are not specific or objective and are often used to exaggerate the benefits of the invention.
