Hello, thank you for the video. I have a question about maintenance fee so if you can answer I would appreciate it. I will start selling on amazon in US. I will launch a product that is similar to a product on amazon. I checked and they have utility patent that expired on 08/30/2019 due to non-payment of maintenance fee. As far as I know they have 2 years window to pay the maintenance fee. Its been almost 5 years now they didnt pay the fee. So when I start selling they will want to stop me using their patent. My question is: Can this abandoned patent be revived? If yes then I dont want to start selling on amazon. Thank you
Under Section 2590 of the MPEP, a patent owner may make a petition to revive an expired patent due to non-payment of a maintenance fee so long as they can provide evidence that the nonpayment was unintentional. The rule does state that the burden is higher if more than 2 years has passed "...a delay of more than two years after the date of nonpayment of a maintenance fee requires additional information of the facts and circumstances surrounding the entire delay to support a conclusion that the entire delay was indeed ‘‘unintentional.’’ Read more here: www.uspto.gov/web/offices/pac/mpep/s2590.html
I invited some inventions between 2012 and 2016 how many years is the filing reci d pt good for?
It depends on what type of application you submitted. If provisional, then after one year it will go abandoned. If non-provisional, likely within a few months, after non-response. There are ways to revive an abandoned application, on petition. Get a hold of us to see if your can be revived here: calendly.com/business-consultations/am06-youtube
20 years is based on filing date or issue date???
Filing date!
