Patent grants will no longer be issued on paper, and as a result, they will no longer be mailed to the correspondence address of record as part of the patent issuance process. Instead, the patentee will be able to view and print the complete issued patent from Patent Center immediately upon issue.

A letters patent is a type of legal instrument, in the form of a published written order, issued by a governing power, such as a king, president, head of state, or head of a corporation, that gives a person an exclusive right, privilege, title, or office. A letters patent is not sealed.
