Novel compounds were isolated, characterized and elucidated from a traditional herbal medicinal product that had been in use for centuries by folk medicine practitioners. Is it possible to file a patent on this?
answered on Oct 12, 2022

D638624 is a design patent and thus only covers the ornamental appearance of the wallet not the more abstract idea of a curved bi-fold front pocket wallet.
Given how few details there are in their design patent, they may try to assert the idea broadly and seek take-down orders against you... View More

The application has been assigned to my company. I want to add one more inventor before it is issued. Can I add one more inventor before the patent is issued? I have not paid the issue fee yet.

I am sorry that your inventor/parent has died. I hope he lived a full life and left you with many fond memories.
If the inventor worked for an employer, the chances are good that the inventor/employee assigned rights over to the employer and is not entitled to royalties. (Just like if... View More

This was listed as Patents Intellectual Property. That is what I do and this is not a question I can help you with. Perhaps you should add Family Law and Probate.
Good Luck.

The question is a little unclear, I think this will answer it.
If you are viewing the patent through the USPTO search function/website (USPTO Patent Full-Text and Image Database (PatFT)), when you are viewing the patent, click on the images button at the top of the page. This will bring... View More

PATENT TERM
Patent term is more confusing than it should be. The one part that is simple, is that patent term is not a function of the technology. There is not a way for the applicant to apply to extend the patent term (unlike trademarks or copyrights). (but as noted below, there are... View More

It would be a bad idea for me to guess what led to the abandonment and what response you filed. It would be a good idea for you to contact the USPTO help desk as they can look into the electronic file and let you know the next step.
You can call 571 272 4200 ( they have several phone... View More
The idea works similar to the expanding stent in that it uses the expansion and compression properties of a similar geometry to pull and contract muscles through epidermal stimuli

This is a very good question, which will take time to research and answer. You are going to have to hire a patent attorney to answer it.
