broadening of a claim

broadening of a claim. Patents. The enlargement of the scope of a patent claim to expand its coverage. • The broader a patent claim, the greater the scope of protection because more methods or devices may potentially infringe the claim. But drafting a claim broadly increases the risk that an accused infringer may successfully invalidate the claim through prior art. See prior art under ART.
