FAQs Patent Questions

Question:A patent is considered personal property and may be sold, mortgaged and may pass on to the heirs of a deceased patentee.

Answer:
A patent is personal property and may be sold to others or mortgaged; it may be bequeathed by a will; and it may pass to the heirs of a deceased patentee. The patent law provides for the transfer or sale of a patent, or of an application for patent, by an instrument in writing.

Question:Can the Patent Office recommend a patent attorney or agent to assist me with filing my application?

Answer:
The U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) cannot make this choice for you. However, a general attorney may help you in making a selection from among those listed as registered practitioners on the USPTO roster.

Question:Plant patents are granted for the entire plant, and only one claim is permitted.

Answer:
A plant patent is granted on the entire plant. It therefore follows that only one claim is necessary and only one is permitted.

Did You Know?

There is a time limit on patent protection.

For applications filed on or after June 8, 1995, utility and plant patents are granted for a term which begins with the date of the grant and usually ends 20 years from the date you first applied for the patent subject to the payment of appropriate maintenance fees. Design patents last 14 years from the date you are granted the patent. Note: Patents in force on June 8 and patents issued thereafter on applications filed prior to June 8, 1995 automatically have a term that is the greater of the twenty year term discussed above or seventeen years from the patent grant.
