FAQs Patent Questions

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:All submitted drawings must be drawn on strong, white, smooth, non-shiny paper

Answer:
Drawings submitted to the Office must be made on paper which is flexible, strong, white, smooth, non-shiny, and durable. All sheets must be reasonably free from cracks, creases, and folds. Only one side of the sheet may be used for the drawing.

Question:Why does a particular drug product only have exclusivity?

Answer:
Exclusivity is not added to the patent life.
