FAQs Patent Questions

Question:Can I print a single page from the Electronic Official Gazette - Patents?

Answer:
Yes. The way that it is done depends on which browser you use.

Question:An application is abandonned if payments are not made in time

Answer:
If timely payment of the fee(s) is not made, the application will be regarded as abandoned.

Question:Is there any danger that the USPTO will give others information contained in my application while it is pending?

Answer:
Most patent applications filed on or after November 29, 2000, will be published 18 months after the filing date of the application, or any earlier filing date relied upon under Title 35, United States Code. Otherwise, all patent applications are maintained in the strictest confidence until the patent is issued or the application is published. After the application has been published, however, a member of the public may request a copy of the application file.
