FAQs Patent Questions

Question:You can find a list of PTDL libraries on the official Gazette and on the USPTO Web site.

Answer:
A list of PTDL libraries can be found in the Official Gazette and on the USPTO Web site.

Question:Patent application publications are available on the Web and at the patent and trademark depository libraries.

Answer:
If an applicant or a practitioner chooses not to print copies of U.S. patents and patent applications publications through the USPTO Patents on the Web system or through the E-Patent Reference system, commercial sources that provide patents very quickly and inexpensively are available, and copies of U.S. patents and patent application publications are also available at the Patent and Trademark Depository Libraries (PTDLs).

Question:A Patent office sometimes requires a physical model for invention if necessary

Answer:
Models or exhibits are not required in most patent applications since the description of the invention in the specification and the drawings must be sufficiently full, clear, and complete and capable of being understood to disclose the invention without the aid of a model. A working model, or other physical exhibit, may be required by the Office if deemed necessary.
