It is important to make valuable arguments already exchanged with a specific office in a patent application easily and quickly available to users for other patents of the same family filed in other countries. This allows users to easily adopt previously used arguments and reuse them multiple times within a patent family.

Patents are an important component of intellectual property and serve to protect inventions and innovations. When an inventor applies for a patent for an invention, it is important that they can leverage valuable arguments exchanged during the application process for future patent applications within the same family. This can expedite the application process and increase the chances of success.

A patent family consists of a group of patents covering the same subject matter but filed in different countries. These patents are often of great importance for companies that operate globally and need to protect their inventions in multiple countries.

When an inventor files a patent application with a particular patent office, he or she may be required to present valuable arguments to obtain approval for the patent. These arguments may concern, for example, technical details, legal interpretations, or potential applications of the invention. If the patent office accepts these arguments and grants the patent, these arguments can be invaluable for future patent applications in the same family.

It's important that these arguments be made easily and quickly accessible to the user so they can use them for other patents in the same family. For example, if an inventor has filed a patent in the U.S. and later wishes to file a similar patent in Europe, the arguments exchanged during the U.S. filing process can be invaluable for the European filing process. By reusing these arguments, the inventor can save time and money and increase the chances of success in the filing process.

One way to make these arguments accessible is to use a central database to store all arguments and information related to a patent family. This database can be used by all parties involved, such as inventors, attorneys, and patent offices, to access relevant information and simplify the filing process. Such a database can also help avoid duplication and facilitate the flow of information between the various parties.

Overall, it is important to make valuable arguments exchanged during the patent application process accessible for future patent applications within the same family. By reusing these arguments, inventors can save time and money and increase the chances of success in the application process. A central database can help make these arguments easily and quickly accessible and facilitate the flow of information between the various parties.
