The U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (PTO) established the Office
of Independent Inventor Programs in 1999. The programs are designed
to give inventors better access to the PTO through a network of
customer service departments within the major patent and trademark
examination divisions. The programs have already set up an
easy-to-use Web site (www.uspto.gov) that answers common
questions new inventors have about patents.
