bybtrader Excellent Patent Information on OWCP

Thanks for this information.

You are WRONG, AGAIN! Ok here are answers to all of your questions and for the benefit of all posters:

- There is such thing as INTERNATIONAL PATENTS

- OWCP Patents are not only PCT applications, they are also filed through WIPO (see WO numbers on OWCP patents). I am sure you have no clue about WIPO because you had no idea about PCT either yesterday.

The World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) is one of the 17 specialized agencies of the United Nations.WIPO currently has 189 member states,[2] administers 26 international treaties,[3] and is headquartered in Geneva, Switzerland. WIPO was created in 1967 to encourage creative activity, to promote the protection of intellectual property throughout the WORLD.


- Once you have a patent application on WIPO or PCT, you do not need to have a USPTO application if your patent's "designated states" cover US, which for all OWCP patents cover all US states.
- Every patent application costs money. OWCP's smart management did all patent applications internationally so that they do not have to spend much more money patenting inventions locally.
- OWCP does not have non-provisional patents yet because the inventions they patented are still going under research. Once efficacy results are done, they can file for non-provisional patents. For the time being, the smartest thing they can do is to protect inventions by provisional patents.
- Of course these international patents won't show up on USPTO because they are different databases. Similarly, a US patent will not show up on WIPO, PCT, or Patentscope, etc.

- This does not mean the patent is not protected at those places. You basically open up the patent filing and read "designated states" to see where it covers. THAT SIMPLE!!!
