FAQ
The timing of patent prosecution can vary significantly depending on the number of communications with the examiner. The goal of the USPTO is to issue the first Office Action within 14 months of the application filing date, and subsequent Office Actions within four months of each response submitted by the applicant.
The search and examination phases constitute the main part of the prosecution of a patent application leading to grant or refusal. A search is conducted by the patent office for any prior art that is relevant to the application in question and the results of that search are notified to the applicant in a search report.
To practice patent law, you would register with the USPTO. This involves submitting an application and passing the multiple-choice exam, also called the patent bar exam. Some coursework or experience in science or engineering is a prerequisite for this exam, but a bachelor's degree may be adequate.
