FAQs Patent Questions

Question:Is it necessary to go to the USPTO to transact business concerning patent matters?

Answer:
No. Most business with the Office is conducted by written correspondence. Interviews regarding pending applications can be arranged with examiners if necessary and are often helpful.

Question:The patent law specifies that its subject matter must be useful, meaning it is able to perform its intended purpose.

Answer:
The patent law specifies that the subject matter must be “useful.” The term “useful” in this connection refers to the condition that the subject matter has a useful purpose and also includes operativeness, that is, a machine which will not operate to perform the intended purpose would not be called useful, and therefore would not be granted a patent.

Question:Why does a particular drug product only have patents?

Answer:
Some drugs have both patent and exclusivity protection while others have just one or none.
