40. Dissertation & Thesis • Dissertation and thesis are both used interchangeably. • Dissertations, one just has to collect matter from different reference • materials and include ones opinions and arguments on it. • Thesis is much more than that. A thesis needs to be original research that one undertakes, though one is free to refer materials for that too.  a thesis is for applying to Ph.D/Doctoral degree. ( the 100 pages) • Dissertation is for some undergraduate project reports. Both types of academia based submissions require the students to extract data from all the reference material they have gathered and organize them into a neatly typed report. The typing work may take up a lot of time, if the student chooses to do it by himself. But to save time and utilize the time saved for more of research, it is advisable for students to go for Dissertation Transcription.

Typically, however, a patent application must include one or more claims defining the invention which must be new, inventive, and useful or industrially applicable.
