Safeguarding patent integrity

through government offices & agencies

The validity and integrity of the patent issuing system is vital to the success of our economy. Government agencies are responsible for carrying out legally mandated processes related to patents, including patent reviews and examinations. Their role is to grant patents to inventions that meet the criteria set forth in patent laws while upholding the principles of transparency and quality to maintain the integrity of the patent system. They play a crucial role in promoting innovation and protecting the intellectual property rights of inventors and businesses in their respective nation. The primary goal is to establish a robust system of checks and balances ensuring the proper issuance and long-term maintenance/record of patent filings.

Patent Process

When inventors or companies apply for a patent, they submit detailed descriptions and claims of their inventions to their appropriate government agency. These applications are then subjected to a thorough examination process conducted by patent examiners employed by the agency. Patent examiners review patent applications to ensure they meet the legal requirements for patentability, which typically include novelty, non-obviousness, and utility. They also check for proper documentation, clarity, and compliance with patent laws and regulations. Part of the examination process involves conducting a search for prior art, which refers to existing patents, publications, and knowledge relevant to the invention in question. The goal is to determine whether the invention is genuinely novel and non-obvious.

Review & Examination

If disputes arise between the applicant and the government agency regarding patentability, they can go through various legal procedures, including requesting reexamination or appealing the agency’s decisions to the Patent Trial and Appeal Board (PTAB) or the Federal Courts. Patent applications and granted patents are public records, and they are made accessible to the public. This transparency promotes innovation and allows others to build upon existing knowledge.
