A patent contains a description of the invention and claims to its unique qualities.
Other parts include a title, names of the inventors, an abstract description of the invention, claims to priority from earlier filings, brief summary of the invention, description of the drawings, detailed description of the invention with references to the drawings and related inventions, one or more claims, and any necessary drawings or tabulated data. Other elements of a patent application file would include the names of the assignees (i.e., the owners of the invention, often the inventors' employer), references to "known related inventions", and other cross-references, among other things.
