FAQs Patent Questions
Question:Why does a particular drug product only have exclusivity?
Answer: Exclusivity is not added to the patent life.
Question:If two or more persons make an invention jointly, they apply for a patent as joint inventors
Answer:
If two or more persons make an invention jointly, they apply for a patent as joint inventors. A person who makes only a financial contribution is not a joint inventor and cannot be joined in the application as an inventor.
Question:Is it necessary to go to the USPTO to transact business concerning patent matters?
Answer:
No. Most business with the Office is conducted by written correspondence. Interviews regarding pending applications can be arranged with examiners if necessary and are often helpful.
