FAQs Patent Questions

Question:How long does an applicant holder have to submit patent information?

Answer:
Patent information is required to be submitted with all new drug applications at the time of submission of the NDA. If appropriate, the patent information is published at the time of approval of the NDA. For patents issued after approval of the NDA, the applicant holder has 30 days in which to file the patent to have it considered as a timely filed patent. Patents may still be submitted beyond the 30 day timeframe but the patent is not considered a timely filed patent.

Question:Will the USPTO help me to select a patent attorney or agent to make my patent search or to prepare and prosecute my patent application?

Answer:
No. The Office cannot make this choice for you. However, your own friends or general attorney may help you in making a selection from among those listed as registered practitioners on the Office roster. Also, some bar associations operate lawyer referral services that maintain lists of patent lawyers available to accept new clients.

Question:A design patent protects only appearance of an article,and not its structural or functional features

Answer:
The design patent protects only the appearance of an article, but not its structural or functional features.
