FAQs Patent Questions

Question:How can I get Land Entry file information for patents?

Answer:
Land Entry files were created when a person claimed land under an act of Congress. They first had to fill out an application, and sometimes provide other information(marriage or immigration documents), at the local General Land Office.

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:An inventor faces possible loss of benefits during his two-year retention period.

Answer:
The two-year retention period is not a “grace period” during which the inventor can wait to file his or her patent application without possible loss of benefits. It must be recognized that, in establishing priority of invention, an affidavit or testimony referring to a Disclosure Document must usually also establish diligence in completing the invention or in filing the patent application after the filing of the Disclosure Document.
