FAQs Patent Questions

Question:If two applications are filled for the same patentable invention the Office will determine who is entitled to the patent

Answer:
Occasionally two or more applications are filed by different inventors claiming substantially the same patentable invention. The patent can only be granted to one of them, and a proceeding known as an “interference” is instituted by the Office to determine who is the first inventor and entitled to the patent.

Question:A Patent office sometimes requires a physical model for invention if necessary

Answer:
Models or exhibits are not required in most patent applications since the description of the invention in the specification and the drawings must be sufficiently full, clear, and complete and capable of being understood to disclose the invention without the aid of a model. A working model, or other physical exhibit, may be required by the Office if deemed necessary.

Question:Original,Currently amended,Canceled, Previously presented,New, Not Entered and Withdrawn are the seven permissible status identifiers

Answer:
The seven permissible status identifiers set forth in 37 CFR 1.121(c) are: (Original), (Currently amended), (Canceled), (Previously presented), (New), (Not entered), and (Withdrawn). (Withdrawn-currently amended) is also acceptable.

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.
