Both may be registered to practice in patent matters before the USPTO. Patent attorneys are also licensed lawyers who may provide broader legal services, while patent agents are generally limited to authorized patent-practice matters.
A U.S. patent generally gives its owner the right to exclude others from making, using, offering to sell, selling, or importing the claimed invention within the United States during the patent term.
Not necessarily. A patent provides exclusionary rights but does not automatically grant freedom to make or sell the invention. Other patents, regulations, licenses, or legal restrictions may still affect commercial activity.
Ownership may depend on inventorship, employment duties, written assignments, development agreements, and applicable law. Inventorship and ownership are different legal concepts and should not be treated as interchangeable.
No. Patent rights are territorial, and a U.S. patent generally applies only within the United States. Protection in other countries depends on separate national or regional patent rights and applicable filing deadlines.
The PTAB is a tribunal within the USPTO that reviews certain examiner rejections and decides patentability questions in proceedings involving issued patents. Representation may be valuable when important claims face appeal or challenge.
