FAQs Patent Questions
Question:What is Patent Term Restoration?
Answer: Patents issued by the Patent Trademark Office (PTO) grant patent holders the right to exclude others from making, using, or selling an invention.
Question:May I write to the USPTO directly about my application after it is filed?
Answer:
The Office will answer an applicant’s inquiries as to the status of the application, and inform you whether your application has been rejected, allowed, or is awaiting action. However, if you have a patent attorney or agent of record in the application file the Office will not correspond with both you and the attorney/agent concerning the merits of your application.
Question:An application is abandonned if payments are not made in time
Answer:
If timely payment of the fee(s) is not made, the application will be regarded as abandoned.
