FAQs Patent Questions
Question:Once the patent is granted, it is outside the jurisdiction of the USPTO
Answer: Once the patent is granted, it is outside the jurisdiction of the USPTO except in a few respects. The Office may issue without charge a certificate correcting a clerical error it has made in the patent when the printed patent does not correspond to the record in the Office. These are mostly corrections of typographical errors made in printing.
Question:Are published patents the only content of the Electronic Official Gazette - Patents?
Answer:
No. The eOG:P contains a section called Patent and Trademark Office Notices.
Question:A design patent application may only include a single claim, that claim defines the design which applicant wishes to patent

A design patent application may only include a single claim. The claim defines the design which applicant wishes to patent, in terms of the article in which it is embodied or applied. The claim must be in formal terms to “The ornamental design for (the article which embodies the design or to which it is applied) as shown.” The description of the article in the claim should be consistent in terminology with the title of the invention.
