FAQs Patent Questions

Question:How long is exclusivity granted for?

Answer:
It depends on what type of exclusivity is granted. Orphan Drug (ODE) - 7 years New Chemical (NCE)- 5 years "Other" Exclusivity - 3 years for a "change" if criteria are met Pediatric Exclusivity (PED) - 6 months added to existing Patents/Exclusivity Patent Challenge – (PC) – 180 days (this exclusivity is for ANDAs only)

Question:How is a copyright different from a patent or a trademark?

Answer:
Copyright protects original works of authorship, while a patent protects inventions or discoveries. Ideas and discoveries are not protected by the copyright law, although the way in which they are expressed may be. A trademark protects words, phrases, symbols, or designs identifying the source of the goods or services of one party and distinguishing them from those of others.

Question:Why was PSIPS created?

Answer:
Mega information is stored and retrieved via PSIPS because it is too large to publish elsewhere.

Did You Know?

There is a time limit on patent protection.

For applications filed on or after June 8, 1995, utility and plant patents are granted for a term which begins with the date of the grant and usually ends 20 years from the date you first applied for the patent subject to the payment of appropriate maintenance fees. Design patents last 14 years from the date you are granted the patent. Note: Patents in force on June 8 and patents issued thereafter on applications filed prior to June 8, 1995 automatically have a term that is the greater of the twenty year term discussed above or seventeen years from the patent grant.
