FAQs Patent Questions
Question:How often is the USPTO database updated?
Answer: The database is normally updated every Tuesday, the day patents are issued. Exceptions may occur for Federal holidays and when problems arise with data availability.
Question:How can I view the patent images?
Answer:
The PTO Web Patent Full-Text Database includes the full text of all patents granted since 1976, and the patent number, issue date, and current US classification for all patents granted from 1790 through 1975. At the top of each text display page is a button marked "Images". Clicking on that button will display the full-page image of the first printed page of that particular patent, along with navigational tools allowing the viewing of all the other pages.
Question:Can I print a single page from the Electronic Official Gazette - Patents?
Answer:
Yes. The way that it is done depends on which browser you use.
