FAQs Patent Questions

Question:Does your USPTO database include data on the current fee status and expiration of patents?

Answer:
No, the US Patent Full Text Database does not include this data, but it is available on the PTO Web site. Use the link to the Patent Application Information Retrieval database (PAIR) on the Web database main page.

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 do I access a specific document in PSIPS?

Answer:
If you know the document ID of the US patent or publication that has the mega information you are seeking, you may submit it on the PSIPS home page.
