USPTO

The United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) is a government agency responsible for granting patents for new inventions and registering trademarks for brands. It ensures inventors and companies have exclusive rights to their innovations and brand identifiers, helping protect their intellectual property. The USPTO reviews applications, issues patents and trademarks, and provides resources to support innovation and fair competition. Essentially, it acts as a steward of the nation’s intellectual property system, promoting invention, creativity, and economic growth by safeguarding the rights of creators and entrepreneurs.
