FAQs Patent Questions

Question:Design patents are granted to inventors who discover a new design for an article of manufacture.

Answer:
File a Design Patent Application - Design patents may be granted to anyone who invents a new, original, and ornamental design for an article of manufacture.

Question:In order to disclose the appearance of the claimed design you must provide sufficient protographs.

Answer:
The drawings or photographs should contain a sufficient number of views to completely disclose the appearance of the claimed design, i.e., front, rear, right and left sides, top and bottom.

Question:If two or more persons make an invention jointly, they apply for a patent as joint inventors

Answer:
If two or more persons make an invention jointly, they apply for a patent as joint inventors. A person who makes only a financial contribution is not a joint inventor and cannot be joined in the application as an inventor.

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.
