Patent Attorney (Male)

Good morning, Dr. Lee. Thanks for coming in. Let's dig into the core elements of your invention for the patent claims. What do you consider the absolute essential features that differentiate it?

李博士，早上好。感谢您能过来。我们来深入探讨一下您发明的核心要素，以便撰写专利权利要求书。您认为它与众不同的绝对必要特征是什么？

Inventor (Female)

Good morning. From my perspective, the key innovation lies in the novel material composition for the semiconductor, specifically its enhanced thermal conductivity and flexibility. That's really the heart of it.

早上好。在我看来，关键创新在于半导体的新型材料组成，特别是其增强的导热性和柔韧性。这真是它的核心。

Patent Attorney (Male)

Excellent. So, the material composition itself and its properties are central. Are there any specific structural configurations or manufacturing processes that are integral to achieving those properties and functionalities?

好的。所以，材料组成本身及其性能是核心。是否有任何特定的结构配置或制造工艺对于实现这些性能和功能必不可少？

Inventor (Female)

Yes, absolutely. The multi-layered deposition process is critical. Without that precise layering, the material wouldn't achieve the desired performance. It's a non-obvious step, for sure.

是的，当然。多层沉积工艺至关重要。没有那个精确的分层，材料就无法达到预期的性能。这绝对是一个非显而易见的步骤。

Patent Attorney (Male)

Understood. So, we're looking at the novel material, its specific properties, and the unique manufacturing process. Are there any particular applications or end-uses where this invention provides a significant advantage over existing solutions?

明白了。所以，我们关注的是这种新型材料、它的特定性能以及独特的制造工艺。这项发明在哪些特定应用或最终用途方面比现有解决方案具有显著优势？

Inventor (Female)

Primarily in high-performance flexible electronics, like wearable tech and advanced medical implants. Its durability and efficiency in those contexts are unmatched. We should definitely include that in the scope.

主要是在高性能柔性电子产品中，例如可穿戴技术和先进的医疗植入物。它在这些场景下的耐用性和效率是无与伦比的。我们绝对应该把这个纳入范围。

Patent Attorney (Male)

That helps clarify the utility. So, to summarize for the claims: the specific material composition, its improved thermal and flexible properties, the multi-layered deposition method, and its application in flexible electronics. Does that cover the critical aspects as you see them?

这有助于澄清其实用性。那么，为权利要求书总结一下：特定的材料组成、其改进的热学和柔性特性、多层沉积方法以及其在柔性电子产品中的应用。您认为这是否涵盖了关键方面？

Inventor (Female)

Yes, that's spot on. Those are the features I believe are truly novel and should be protected. We want to cast a wide net without being overly broad, of course.

是的，一针见血。这些都是我认为真正新颖且应该受到保护的特征。当然，我们希望在不过于宽泛的情况下，尽可能广泛地进行保护。

Patent Attorney (Male)

Exactly. We'll start drafting the independent claims based on these points, then branch out into dependent claims for more specific embodiments. I'll send you a draft for your review early next week. Thanks for your time, Dr. Lee.

没错。我们将根据这些要点开始起草独立权利要求，然后扩展到更具体的从属权利要求。我会在下周初给您发一份草稿供您审阅。感谢您的时间，李博士。

Inventor (Female)

Sounds good. Looking forward to seeing the draft. Thanks for guiding me through this, I appreciate it.

听起来不错。期待看到草稿。感谢你指导我完成这一切，我很感激。
