This page provides information and links to library resources about patents and other forms of intellectual property such as trademarks and copyright. While we can provide information about patents and intellectual property, the Library is unable to provide guidance on developing or applying for patents.
Full and comprehensive patent searching for the purposes of patent filing and application should be conducted at the Patent and Trademarks Office Public Search Facility or a Patent and Trademarks Depository Library. The advice of a patent attorney is strongly recommended.
