FAQs Patent Questions

Question:Design patents are granted to inventors who discover a new design for an article of manufacture.

Answer:
File a Design Patent Application - Design patents may be granted to anyone who invents a new, original, and ornamental design for an article of manufacture.

Question:How do I obtain the status of a patent?

Answer:
The Patent Application Information Retrieval (PAIR) system permits third parties to obtain information about applications that have been published pursuant to 35 U.S.C. 122(b) and issued patents, such as the status of maintenance fee payments and whether or not a reissue application or reexamination request has been filed. PAIR can be accessed on the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) web site at http://portal.uspto.gov/external/portal/pair.

Question:What is FDA’s role in the Patent Term Restoration Program?

Answer:
FDA’s primary responsibility is to assist the Patent Trademark Office (PTO) in determining a product’s eligibility for patent term restoration and to provide information to PTO regarding a product’s regulatory review period.

Did You Know?

There is a time limit on patent protection.

For applications filed on or after June 8, 1995, utility and plant patents are granted for a term which begins with the date of the grant and usually ends 20 years from the date you first applied for the patent subject to the payment of appropriate maintenance fees. Design patents last 14 years from the date you are granted the patent. Note: Patents in force on June 8 and patents issued thereafter on applications filed prior to June 8, 1995 automatically have a term that is the greater of the twenty year term discussed above or seventeen years from the patent grant.
