FAQs Patent Questions

Question:How long is a patent granted for?

Answer:
Patents expire 20 years from the date of filing. Many other factors can affect the duration of a patent.

Question:What is PSIPS?

Answer:
Publication Site for Issued and Published Sequences of USPTO.

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.

Did You Know?

A patent protects your invention.

A patent for an invention is a grant of property rights by the U.S. Government through the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office. The patent grant excludes others from making, using, or selling the invention in the United States. The terms "Patent Pending" and "Patent Applied For" are used to inform the public that an application for a patent has been filed. Patent protection does not start until the actual grant of a patent. Marking of an article as patented, when it is not, is illegal and subject to penalty.
