FAQs Patent Questions
Question:Once the patent is granted, it is outside the jurisdiction of the USPTO
Answer: Once the patent is granted, it is outside the jurisdiction of the USPTO except in a few respects. The Office may issue without charge a certificate correcting a clerical error it has made in the patent when the printed patent does not correspond to the record in the Office. These are mostly corrections of typographical errors made in printing.
Question:How do I access a specific document in PSIPS?
Answer:
If you know the document ID of the US patent or publication that has the mega information you are seeking, you may submit it on the PSIPS home page.
Question:Applications must be in data query within six days under normal circumstances
Answer:
Under normal circumstances the application should be in Data Query (PALM location 7550) less than 6 days. If the application involves special circumstances, (i.e., waiting for drawings, a signed declaration/oath, etc.) the timetable will vary depending on the response needed.

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.
