FAQs Patent Questions

Question:A patent claim listing is required for preliminary amendments present on the filing date.

Answer:
Yes, a claim listing of every claim ever presented in the application is required, even for preliminary amendments present on the filing date of the application. The status identifier, (new), instead of (original), should be used for claims added by a preliminary amendment, even when the preliminary amendment is present on the filing date of the application and the first executed oath or declaration refers to the preliminary amendment.

Question:What is Patent Term Restoration?

Answer:
Patents issued by the Patent Trademark Office (PTO) grant patent holders the right to exclude others from making, using, or selling an invention.

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.
