Utility & Design Patent Detail:
A Utility and Design Patent Applications are documents prepared by a registered Patent Attorney to disclose and describe the invention or idea in full detail, and to highlight all benefits and alternative modification(s) of the invention as required by the USPTO when filing for a patent. A patent for an invention is the grant of a property right to the inventor, issued by the United States Patent & Trademark Office (USPTO).
It gives the patent holder the right, for a limited time, to exclude others from making, using, or selling the subject matter that is within the scope of protection granted by the patent. The USPTO determines whether a patent should be granted in a particular case. However, it is up to the patent holder to enforce his or her own rights if the USPTO does grant a patent.
The term of a new utility patent is 20 years and design patent is 14 years from the date on which the application for the patent was filed in the United States or, in special cases, from the date an earlier related application was filed, subject to the payment of maintenance fees. US patent grants are effective only within the US, US territories, and US possessions.
