The patent laws administered by the Patent and Trademark Office are contained within Title 35 of the United States Code. The USPTO oversee the laws dedicated to patents. Title 35 of the United States Code is further divided into four parts:
• Title 35 - Part I – provides details on information pertaining to the Patent and Trademark Office, and its role in granting patents.
• Title 35 – Part II – discusses the ability of the inventions to be patented, along with how patents are granted.
• Title 35 – Part III – information discussed within this section of the United States Code deals mainly with patent infringement and what rights are available to you as a patent holder.
• Title 35 – Part IV – can be used to find more specific information pertaining to the Patent Cooperation Treaty, and filing a patent internationally.
