What is Notice of Allowance? Video Transcript

In this section I am going to talk to you about what is a Notice of Allowance. A Notice of Allowance is when the Patent Office has agreed to grant you a patent. If the amendments are sufficient, the Patent Office is convinced and now they are okay with letting you have this patent. Issue fees are drew generally within three months of the Notice of Allowance. The Notice of Allowability is sometimes mailed as well which says that this is why your patent is now ready to be issued. The issued fee must be paid after you get that Notice of Allowance and the patent will be published and issued several months later when it is printed with a patent number in the official gazette and published in the USPTO website.
