FAQs Patent Questions
Question:How is PSIPS generally to be used?
Answer: At present, this system acts as a storage and retrieval site for Sequence Listings that are at least 300 pages (roughly 600Kb), mega table sections that are at least 200 contiguous pages, and other mega items. The data have been included in either a granted US patent or a published US patent application. Shorter Sequence Listings and tables are accessible via Patents-, and Applications-, on-the-Web home pages.
Question:How can I get Land Entry file information for patents?
Answer:
Land Entry files were created when a person claimed land under an act of Congress. They first had to fill out an application, and sometimes provide other information(marriage or immigration documents), at the local General Land Office.
Question:Use of inventions more than one year prior to filling a patent will prohibit the granting of a patent
Answer:
Inventors are also reminded that any public use or sale in the United States or publication of the invention anywhere in the world more than one year prior to the filing of a patent application on that invention will prohibit the granting of an U. S. patent on it.

There is a time limit on patent protection.
For applications filed on or after June 8, 1995, utility and plant patents are granted for a term which begins with the date of the grant and usually ends 20 years from the date you first applied for the patent subject to the payment of appropriate maintenance fees. Design patents last 14 years from the date you are granted the patent. Note: Patents in force on June 8 and patents issued thereafter on applications filed prior to June 8, 1995 automatically have a term that is the greater of the twenty year term discussed above or seventeen years from the patent grant.
