The society nowadays is an era of intellectual property. Under this background, in order to protect one's own invention and creation, everyone may need the protection of intellectual property, which may be patents, trademarks, copyrights, etc., or may be the combination of the above mentioned. The overseas market is also one of the most important markets for business developing, among which the American market is a very distinct example. What do you know about American patent applications? What is the process of applying for U.S. patents? Let's get to know.
Filing of US patent application:
1. It is necessary to understand the specific legal requirements for the types of patent applications submitted by U.S. patent applicants. According to the requirements, submit a preliminary application containing all the required content to establish the application date. Through the Electronic Filing System (EFS-Web) of the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO), practical patent applications, temporary applications and other types of letters can be submitted online. Before signing the application of a U.S. patent applicant, make sure that the U.S. patent applicant reads the written instructions and claims. Once submitted to the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO), the U.S. patent applicant will not be able to add any new content to the U.S. patent applicant's application.
Procedures for Examining US Patent Application:
If the content of U.S. patent application is incomplete, the U.S. patent applicant will receive an official letter from the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) informing the U.S. patent application of the inadequacy of the content, which is the so-called review opinions. U.S. patent applicants will be given a limited period of time to improve the content of the application and colleagues may also pay a corresponding fee. If the problem is not corrected within the time limit, the application will be returned or otherwise processed. If the application fee has been paid at this time, the US patent application fee can be refunded in addition to the relevant processing fees listed in the fee form.
U.S. Patent Application Approved
If the examiner determines that the application of a U.S. patent applicant meets the requirements and conditions, the applicant will receive a notice of authorization. The Patent Authorization Letter will be sent on the Patent Authorization Date, which includes all references to the existing technology, the name of the inventor, instructions and rights requirements.
