ChatGPT:

Great set of options. Each has slightly different nuances in tone, formality, and grammatical structure. Let's look at each:


1. The blood pressure monitor according to the present invention is fixed to a living body, and includes...

  • ✔ Grammatical and clear.

  • ✘ However, is fixed” sounds like it’s already attached — implying a current state — rather than describing a feature or capability.

  • Not ideal for describing design intent or functionality, which patents usually focus on.

🔍 Verdict: Acceptable, but not the best fit for patent language unless you're emphasizing an already-fixed state.


2. The blood pressure monitor according to the present invention is to be fixed to a living body, and includes...

  • ✔ Expresses intended use — which is appropriate for describing the function of an invention.

  • Slightly formal, common in specs or patents.

  • ✔ Clear that fixation is part of the design, not the current state.

🔍 Verdict: Good choice, appropriate in patent writing.


3. The blood pressure monitor according to the present invention is for fixation to a living body, and includes...

  • ✔ Concise and formal.

  • for fixation” sounds more abstract or mechanical — often used in patent claims or summary.

  • May feel slightly stiff in running text, but perfectly fine.

🔍 Verdict: Very good for patent-style descriptions, especially in claims or summaries.


4. The present invention relates to a blood pressure monitor that is fixed to a living body and includes...

  • ✔ More neutral and standard opening for patent disclosures.

  • ✘ “that is fixed” again implies current or constant state — less about intended structure.

  • Commonly seen, but could be improved with wording like “to be fixed.”

🔍 Verdict: Standard but slightly less precise if the design intention is what matters.


5. The present invention relates to a blood pressure monitor fixed to a living body and including...

  • ✘ Slightly awkward grammatically.

  • “Including” doesn't flow well without a subject-verb structure earlier in the clause.

  • Could be improved by revising to “which is fixed... and includes...”

🔍 Verdict: Not ideal — borderline ungrammatical.


6. The present invention relates to a blood pressure monitor to be fixed to a living body and including...

  • ✘ Like 5, this mixes a non-finite clause ("to be fixed") with a present participle ("including").

  • The coordination is unbalanced and ungrammatical.

🔍 Verdict:Grammatically incorrect — should be revised.


Recommended Options (best for patent writing):

  • Option 2: The blood pressure monitor according to the present invention is to be fixed to a living body, and includes...

  • Option 3: The blood pressure monitor according to the present invention is for fixation to a living body, and includes...

  • Modified Option 4: The present invention relates to a blood pressure monitor that is to be fixed to a living body and includes...
