Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Patent and Trademark Office (PTO) assigns a patent examiner to consider a patent application, and there is usually a great deal of communication between the examiner and the applicant over the adequacy of the application's explanations, the scope of the proposed patent (exactly what the patent applies to), and whether the invention even qualifies for a patent. The applicant can amend the application, and the process can take several years from start to finish.
