FAQs Patent Questions

Question:What is a patent?

Answer:
A patent is a property right granted by the Government of the United States of America to an inventor “to exclude others from making, using, offering for sale, or selling the invention throughout the United States or importing the invention into the United States” for a limited time in exchange for public disclosure of the invention when the patent is granted.

Question:Can the Patent Office recommend a patent attorney or agent to assist me with filing my application?

Answer:
The U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) cannot make this choice for you. However, a general attorney may help you in making a selection from among those listed as registered practitioners on the USPTO roster.

Question:How many weeks of the Electronic Official Gazette - Patents will be available on the USPTO web site?

Answer:
Current plans are to maintain one year on the web site. To locate patents announced in earlier OGs, search the USPTO Patent Full Text Database by patentee name, keyword, current classification, or patent number.

Did You Know?

There is a time limit on patent protection.

For applications filed on or after June 8, 1995, utility and plant patents are granted for a term which begins with the date of the grant and usually ends 20 years from the date you first applied for the patent subject to the payment of appropriate maintenance fees. Design patents last 14 years from the date you are granted the patent. Note: Patents in force on June 8 and patents issued thereafter on applications filed prior to June 8, 1995 automatically have a term that is the greater of the twenty year term discussed above or seventeen years from the patent grant.
