Q: How do I write a patent, what items should be considered in it?
A:
I do not think it is a good idea for you to draft and file a patent application without the help of a patent attorney. Some people do so and the USPTO can be somewhat generous in helping DIY applicants but there is a great risk that you do not know what you do not know and you will lose important rights.
As a first step, you should look at patents for the type of invention that you hope to patent. This will let you see what sort of detail is needed. https://bit.ly/Patent__Searching Perhaps after reading some patents, you may want to get some help.
Even if you get help, having read a few relevant patents is apt to make the process go smoother as you will understand what the end game looks like.
I hope that this helps.
