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 the Federal mandate that requires an extramural invention tracking system?

Answer:
New provisions to the Code of Federal Regulations came with the enactment of the Bayh-Dole Act of 1980. These provisions (CFR) stipulated the need for all grantees or contractors to report on activities involving the disposition of certain intellectual property rights that result from Federally funded research (37CFR Part 401).

Question:Utility patents are granted to inventors that discover new and useful processes, machines, articles of manufacture.

Answer:
File a Utility Patent Application - Utility patents may be granted to anyone who invents or discovers any new and useful process, machine, article of manufacture, or compositions of matters, or any new useful improvement thereof.

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.
