Page layout can be identical to or different from the current format. Patent Pad is the recognized bridge to the Electronic Notebook while retaining the core features of the bound notebook. The following pages describe the available options of Patent Pad laboratory notebooks and the versatility of their use in the laboratory. These four components, when taken together, enable each and every Patent Pad notebook page to be verified by the customer s patent counsel, the courts, regulatory bodies, and in some cases, opposing legal counsel. Patent Pad customers determine the appearance and design of their laboratory notebook pages.
Pages can be plain, bordered, lined or with grids.
All notebook pages are sequentially numbered to identify individual sheets and notebook volume numbers. The ink color of each page can be light gray, green, blue or burgundy. When photocopied, a hidden warning image will appear. The customer determines how the hidden image reads. It is important that each customer s Patent Pad design be distinctive and unique to the company.
