FAQs Patent Questions

Question:How can I view the patent images?

Answer:
The PTO Web Patent Full-Text Database includes the full text of all patents granted since 1976, and the patent number, issue date, and current US classification for all patents granted from 1790 through 1975. At the top of each text display page is a button marked "Images". Clicking on that button will display the full-page image of the first printed page of that particular patent, along with navigational tools allowing the viewing of all the other pages.

Question:How is a copyright different from a patent or a trademark?

Answer:
Copyright protects original works of authorship, while a patent protects inventions or discoveries. Ideas and discoveries are not protected by the copyright law, although the way in which they are expressed may be. A trademark protects words, phrases, symbols, or designs identifying the source of the goods or services of one party and distinguishing them from those of others.

Question:The Inventor is the only person allowed to apply for a patent.

Answer:
c, with certain exceptions. If a person who is not the inventor should apply for a patent, the patent, if it were obtained, would be invalid.
