FAQs Patent Questions

Question:What is a trade secret?

Answer:
A trade secret is information that companies keep secret to give them an advantage over their competitors. No mechanism exists to federally record or register a trade secret.

Question:A patent license makes sure the licensor does not sue the licensee.

Answer:
A patent license agreement is in essence nothing more than a promise by the licensor not to sue the licensee.

Question:Patent application publications are available on the Web and at the patent and trademark depository libraries.

Answer:
If an applicant or a practitioner chooses not to print copies of U.S. patents and patent applications publications through the USPTO Patents on the Web system or through the E-Patent Reference system, commercial sources that provide patents very quickly and inexpensively are available, and copies of U.S. patents and patent application publications are also available at the Patent and Trademark Depository Libraries (PTDLs).

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.

Contact our Patent Professionals to ensure you complete the patent filing process correctly or for violation of your patent rights.
