PROTECTING YOUR INVENTION OUTSIDE THE UNITED STATES
Since the rights granted by a U.S. patent extend only throughout the territory
of the United States and have no effect in a foreign country, an inventor who
wishes patent protection in another country must apply for a patent in a
specific country or in regional patent offices. Applicants may wish to consider
the filing of an international application under the Patent Cooperation Treaty
(PCT). An international (PCT) application generally has the same effect as a
regular national patent application in each PCT-member country. The PCT process
simplifies the filing of patent applications on the same invention in member
countries, but does not result in a grant of "an international
page 1 of 3
patent" and does not eliminate the need of applicants to file additional
documents and fees in countries where patent protection is desired.
Almost every country has its own patent law, and a person desiring a patent in a
particular country must make an application for patent in that country in
accordance with its particular laws. Since the laws of many countries differ in
various respects from the patent Jaw of the United States, applicants are
advised to seek guidance from specific foreign countries to ensure that patent
rights are not lost prematurely.
Applicants also are advised that in the case of inventions made in the United
States, the Director of the USPTO must issue a license before applicants can
apply for a patent in a foreign country. The filing of a U.S. patent application
serves as a request for a foreign filing license. The application's filing
receipt contains further information and guidance as to the status of
applicant's license for foreign filing.
Applicants may wish to consult the USPTO booklet, "General Information
Concerning Patents" {specifically, the section entitled "Treaties and Foreign
Patents") for more information on timeframes and deadlines for filing foreign
patent applications. The guide is available either by contacting the USPTO
Contact Center at 800-786-9199, or it can be viewed on the USPTO website at
http://www.uspto.gov/web/offices/pac/doc/general/index.html.
For information on preventing theft of your intellectual property (patents,
trademarks and copyrights), you may wish to consult the U.S. Government website,
http://www.stopfakes.gov. Part of a Department of Commerce initiative, this
website includes self-help "toolkits" giving innovators guidance on how to
protect intellectual property in specific countries such as China, Korea and
Mexico. For questions regarding patent enforcement issues, applicants may call
the U.S. Government hotline at 1-866-999-HALT (1-866-999-4158).
LICENSE FOR FOREIGN FILING UNDER
Title 35, United States Code, Section 184
Title 37, Code of Federal Regulations, 5.11 & 5.15
GRANTED
The applicant has been granted a license under 35 U.S.C. 184, if the phrase "IF
REQUIRED, FOREIGN FILING LICENSE GRANTED" followed by a date appears on this
form. Such licenses are issued in all applications where the conditions for
issuance of a license have been met, regardless of whether or not a license may
be required as set forth in 37 CFR 5.15. The scope and limitations of this
license are set forth in 37 CFR 5.15(a) unless an earlier license has been
issued under 37 CFR 5.15(b). The license is subject to revocation upon written
notification. The date indicated is the effective date of the license, unless an
earlier license of similar scope has been granted under 37 CFR 5.13 or 5.14.
This license is to be retained by the licensee and may be used at any time on or
after the effective date thereof unless it is revoked. This license is
automatically transferred to any related applications(s) filed under 37 CFR
1.53(d). This license is not retroactive.
The grant of a license does not in any way lessen the responsibility of a
licensee for the security of the subject matter as imposed by any Government
contract or the provisions of existing laws relating to espionage and the
national security or the export of technical data. Licensees should apprise
themselves of current regulations especially with respect to certain countries,
of other agencies, particularly the Office of Defense Trade Controls, Department
of State (with respect to Arms, Munitions and Implements of War (22 CFR
121-128)); the Bureau of Industry and
page 2 of 3
Security, Department of Commerce (15 CFR parts 730-774); the Office of Foreign
Assets Control, Department of Treasury (31 CFR Parts 500+) and the Department of
Energy.
NOT GRANTED
No license under 35 U.S.C. 184 has been granted at this time, if the phrase "IF
REQUIRED, FOREIGN FILING LICENSE GRANTED" DOES NOT appear on this form.
Applicant may still petition for a license under 37 CFR 5.12, if a license is
desired before the expiration of 6 months from the filing date of the
application. If 6 months has lapsed from the filing date of this application and
the licensee has not received any indication of a secrecy order under 35 U.S.C.
181, the licensee may foreign file the application pursuant to 37 CFR 5.15(b).
