FAQs Patent Questions

Question:Why does a particular drug product only have exclusivity?

Answer:
Exclusivity is not added to the patent life.

Question:How do I check on the status of my pending patent application?

Answer:
The U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) is pleased to present PAIR - Patent Application Information Retrieval System. PAIR also has a public side to provide the same information to the public once an application has issued as a patent or published as a patent application publication. Once you receive a patent filing receipt containing the application number of your application, you may check on the status of a pending application once you obtain the appropriate tools.

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.
