FAQs Patent Questions

Question:What is a regulatory review period determination?

Answer:
The regulatory review period is the basis for patent extension. Basically, a regulatory review period is composed of two parts: a testing phase, and an approval phase. The testing phase for a human drug product is the period between the effective date of an investigational product exemption (Investigational New Drug Application) and the initial submission of the marketing application (New Drug Application).

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:The functions of the United States patent and trademark office.

Answer:
The role of the USPTO is to grant patents for the protection of inventions and to register trademarks.
