omnibus claim

A claim in a patent application that does not distinctly narrate a means to carry out a function but rather refers to the drawings or description with phrases such as “as described and shown.”

• Omnibus claims are rejected in the United States but are accepted elsewhere.

— Also termed nonstatutory claim. Cf. design claim.
