[neonixie-l] Re: OT: USA patent application status lookup...
The server was down, the link works again. If you enter the application number into PAIR, you can get every piece of paperwork including the addresses of the attorneys prosecuting the patent and the responses to office actions. Don't bother with the USPTO employees, they are not helpful even when its your patent. I did just what you are suggesting through the attorney of record and got good results. What you want to threaten is Future invalidation. jt On Feb 1, 1:44 am, taylorjpt j...@tayloredge.com wrote: You can access the full system without any account via PAIR if you know the application number... http://portal.uspto.gov/external/portal/pair Or search for an application... http://appft.uspto.gov/netahtml/PTO/search-bool.html both of these are completely public. jt On Jan 31, 4:47 am, Nick n...@desmith.net wrote: Hi, This is OT, but has anyone here got the ability to look up the status of a USA patent office application?

What you want to threaten is Future invalidation. Yes, in the US, the inventor/applicant is under an obligation to make the patent office aware of any publication that they know of which could be relevant to the US PTO's deliberations. If they conceal stuff, it's inequitable conduct, and potentially grounds for invalidation later (and even worse stuff consequentially if someone is in a litigation battle with them). So a recorded delivery of prior art to the applicant's attorney _ought_ to have the desired effect of getting it into play. Daresay it doesn't always work that way in practice, but they take a big risk if they ignore you. (amateur lawyer mode off!)

The pair link is broken - I don;t want to just look up a patent - that's easy - its the STATUS of a patent application that interests me. What is particularly annoying is the the patent attorney address seems to be for an invalid company, so I can't even contact them... Though if anyone had an email for them, I could try that!

Nick, Can you clarify what you mean by status? Are you wanting to know whether a patent is pending or in force (ie granted and the maintenance fees paid up to date). Or is it a patent which is currently being examined, and you'd like to see the detail of the office actions, responses from the applicant etc (ie the file wrapper) ? I've dealt with it now - I spoke to the USPO legal department who basically told me to sod off. It seems that 3rd parties cannot object or correspond in any way regarding a patent application if more than a couple of months have passed since the application was first published. So I can't do anything anyway. The extraordinarily rude snotty lady on the 'phone said that if I made any attempt to contact the assessor all my correspondence would be struck off the record, even though I have a file of prior art. Oh, well.. Nick -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups neonixie-l group. To post to this group, send an email to neonixie-l@googlegroups.com.

You'd possibly get more traction with the European Patent Office - it's a different system. As I recall, third parties can make 'observations' on a patent during prosecution. There's also a proper opposition process for a period after a patent grants. Course, none of that helps you in the US.
