How long does patent protection last? Patent protection is granted for a limited period, generally 20 years from the filing date of the application.

An issued patent provides enforceable rights and allows the inventor to prevent others from using or commercializing their invention. In contrast, a published patent application serves as a disclosure and establishes an earlier filing date, but it does not grant any enforceable rights.

The Office will not mail a paper copy of the patent application publication to the applicant, but will mail a “Notice of Publication” to the applicant indicating that the application has been published when the application is published.

Publication only makes the details of your application public to others while the examination process begins. Published patents go through a comprehensive examination process in which the patent office will determine whether your innovation meets the validity criteria.

The abstract must be as concise as the disclosure permits (preferably 50 to 150 words if it is in English or when translated into English). National practice (see MPEP § 608.01(b)) also provides a maximum of 150 words for the abstract. See 37 CFR 1.72(b).

Published applications are virtual software programs that look and act like local applications but are actually running on a server. IT can set up published application access on the user's device so that the user accesses and launches a published application the same way that they would a local application.
