FAQs Patent Questions

Question:Amendments to drawings filed after allowance are entered by the office of publications.

Answer:
Amendments to drawings filed after allowance are entered by the Office of Publications. If such amendment is forwarded to the examiner, the examiner should forward or return the application to the Office of Publications.

Question:A Patent office sometimes requires a physical model for invention if necessary

Answer:
Models or exhibits are not required in most patent applications since the description of the invention in the specification and the drawings must be sufficiently full, clear, and complete and capable of being understood to disclose the invention without the aid of a model. A working model, or other physical exhibit, may be required by the Office if deemed necessary.

Question:A person desiring a patent in a particular country must apply within that country

Answer:
Almost every country has its own patent law, and a person desiring a patent in a particular country must make an application for patent in that country, in accordance with the requirements of that country.
