failure to disclose best mode rejection

Rejection of a patent application on the ground that the inventor has not disclosed the best way to use the invention.

• To warrant rejection, the examiner must find deliberate concealment or a description so poorly drafted as to amount to concealment. [Cases: Patents 98. C.J.S. Patents §§ 137–139.]
