FAQs Patent Questions

Question:Utility patents protects the way an article is used and works and a design patent protects the way an article looks.

Answer:
A “utility patent” protects the way an article is used and works (35 U.S.C. 101), while a "design patent" protects the way an article looks (35 U.S.C. 171). Both design and utility patents may be obtained on an article if invention resides both in its utility and ornamental appearance.

Question:Are there any organizations in my area which can tell me how and where I may be able to obtain assistance in developing and marketing my invention?

Answer:
Yes. In your own or neighboring communities you may inquire of such organizations as chambers of commerce and banks. Many communities have locally financed industrial development organizations, that can help you locate manufacturers and individuals who might be interested in promoting your idea.

Question:Will the USPTO advise me as to whether a certain patent promotion organization is reliable and trustworthy?

Answer:
No. The Office has no control over such organizations. The Office will publish complaints regarding invention promoters and replies from the invention promoters. The Office will not undertake any investigation of the invention promoters.
