    FAQs Patent Questions

    Patent
    Question: The official publication for patents is called the Official Gazette.

    Answer:

    The Official Gazette of the United States Patent and Trademark Office is the official journal relating to patents and trademarks.




    Question: How can I link to a particular patent?

    Answer:
    A special shortened URL format: http://patft1.uspto.gov/netacgi/nph-Parser?patentnumber=5123456 where the patent number "5123456" may be replaced by any valid patent number within the database, has been established to enable users to more easily construct a URL for bookmarking or linking to the full-text of a single granted patent.




    Question: If two or more persons make an invention jointly, they apply for a patent as joint inventors

    Answer:
    If two or more persons make an invention jointly, they apply for a patent as joint inventors. A person who makes only a financial contribution is not a joint inventor and cannot be joined in the application as an inventor.



    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.
