Patent attorneys in the United States deal with numerous intellectual property related questions from a simple one like "What is a patent?" to a complex one like "What is required for patentability?" Above are summarized answers to some of the most frequently asked questions concerning patents, trademarks and copyrights. The intellectual property information provided here focuses on IP practices in the United States. Those who wish to obtain further knowledge on US patent and trademark are encouraged to visit the federal government website at www.uspto.gov.

 

 


The United States Patent & Trademark Office (USPTO) periodically releases news on the internet in form of Official Gazettes that include patent statistical data to rule amendments. Unfortunately, unless you pay a regular visit to the PTO website the news will hardly reach you since the PTO news release is in almost all the cases made only on its website. It takes efforts for even patent attorneys to catch up with recent changes in rules and provisions. For the convenience' sake of our clients and site visitors, Park Law Firm periodically screens the PTO news and posts excerpts of the most crucial ones that may affect interests of patent and trademark applicants. www.uspto.gov.
