Size and Format Common sizes include 8.5″ x 11″ or A4 paper size, with a recommended margin of at least one inch on all sides. Digital drawings must meet the file format and resolution specifications provided by the patent office.
The projected publication date normally will be the later of: (1) eighteen months from the earliest filing date claimed; or (2) fourteen weeks from the mailing date of the filing receipt. The publication process takes about fourteen weeks.
