Q: Can I publish information about a patent, that has an application number assigned to it but still under processing

I have a patent application under processing in the USPOT with assigned number 15/015,449, which you can find information about it in this platform JUSTICA. I want to publish a conference or journal paper that may have some descriptions and layout of my invention, is that going to be harmful or jeopardizing my IP rights before I get the patent granted?

A: If you have used a previous attorney – usually he/she is the best person to contact related to the application. If that is not an option, review the application on Public Pair, by searching under your application number. Public Pair will give more documents about the status of the application.
