FAQs Patent Questions

Question:Status identifier cannot be presented before the claim number.

Answer:
No, the status identifier must be presented after the claim number.

Question:How is a copyright different from a patent or a trademark?

Answer:
Copyright protects original works of authorship, while a patent protects inventions or discoveries. Ideas and discoveries are not protected by the copyright law, although the way in which they are expressed may be. A trademark protects words, phrases, symbols, or designs identifying the source of the goods or services of one party and distinguishing them from those of others.

Question:An allowance notice is sent to the applicant if any fee for issuing the patent is applicable

Answer:
A Notice of Allowance and Fee(s) Due will be sent to the applicant, or to applicant’s attorney or agent of record, if any, and a fee for issuing the patent and if applicable, for publishing the patent application publication is due within three months from the date of the notice.
