alternativeness rejection

Rejection of a patent claim on the ground that it seeks a broad monopoly on the invention as disclosed and on other unspecified variations.

• For example, a claim using a phrase such as “and similar materials” would probably be too broad to be allowed. [Cases: Patents 124. C.J.S. Patents § 210.]
