void process

Legal process that, in some material way, does not comply with the required form. 3. Patents. A method, operation, or series of actions intended to achieve some end or result. Cf. MACHINE; MANUFACTURE. "A process is a way of doing something. If it is a patentable process, it must be a new, useful, and nonobvious way of doing something. If the process is patentable, the result of that process - the something getting done - need not of itself be new, useful, or nonobvious. In other words, the result of an inventive process need not be an invention itself." Arthur R. Miller & Michael H. Davis, Intellectual Property in a Nutshell 24 (2d ed. Isso).
