Dissemination of Patent and Trademark Information on the PTO's Web Site
The Patent and Trademark Office (PTO) plans to expand the searchable database offerings on its World-Wide Web (Web) site by adding additional patent data and by including trademark data. This expansion will provide Web access to the full text of patents granted since 1976 and to the trademark text data for registered and pending marks. The PTO also plans to incorporate patent and trademark image data and trademark data for inactive marks as part of its expanded Web offering. The PTO requests public comments on its decision to expand its Web site offerings.
