FAQs Patent Questions

Question:Plant patents are granted for the entire plant, and only one claim is permitted.

Answer:
A plant patent is granted on the entire plant. It therefore follows that only one claim is necessary and only one is permitted.

Question:What are Credit Patents?

Answer:
Credit patents are similar to Cash; lands could be purchased under the Land Law of 1800 from the General Land Office. This credit system allowed purchasers to pay in installments over a four-year period. A delinquent payment or non-payment of the full balance resulted in forfeiture to the U.S. Because of the economic hardship Congress quickly abandoned the credit system and through the Act of April 24, 1820 required full payment for land to be made at the time of purchase.

Question:Can the Patent Office recommend a patent attorney or agent to assist me with filing my application?

Answer:
The U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) cannot make this choice for you. However, a general attorney may help you in making a selection from among those listed as registered practitioners on the USPTO roster.
