    FAQs Patent Questions

    Patent
    Question: Can I obtain international patent protection for my invention?

    Answer:

    Since the rights granted by a U.S. patent extend only throughout the territory of the United States and have no effect in a foreign country, an inventor who wishes patent protection in other countries must apply for a patent in each of the other countries or in regional patent offices.




    Question: Why does a particular drug product have neither exclusivity or a patent?

    Answer:
    Expired patents and exclusivity are not included in the published list.




    Question: Is it necessary to go to the USPTO to transact business concerning patent matters?

    Answer:
    No. Most business with the Office is conducted by written correspondence. Interviews regarding pending applications can be arranged with examiners if necessary and are often helpful.



    Did You Know?

    You may apply for a patent for your invention.

    Inventors may apply for one of two types of patent applications: (1) A non-provisional application, which begins the examination process and may lead to a patent and (2) A provisional application, which establishes a filing date but does not begin the examination process.
