In my view, the Christian religion is the most important and one of the first things in which all children, under a free government ought to be instructed.. .No truth is more evident to my mind than that the Christian religion must be the basis of any government intended to secure the rights and privileges of a free people.

Sarbanes-Oxley Compliance (SOX)

In order to be SOX compliant, it is imperative that you keep track of your patent portfolio. A thorough IP audit requires organization. Ironically, companies will pay more for the procurement of patents than they will for organizing and managing IP portfolios. With IP Street, we can help you navigate your own IP landscape and quickly organize your portfolios. With our promise of ongoing innovation, we can further develop tools you need to make this organization possible.

How is Congress involved in patents?

In Article I, Section 8 of the Constitution of the United States it says, " Congress shall have power [...] to promote the progress of science and useful arts by securing for limited times to inventors the exclusive right to their respective discoveries."

Provisional utility patents

A utility patent application can be filed provisionally or unprovisionally. The non-provisional application establishes the filing date of your patent application and begins the examination process. Your patent application will be examined by the USPTO. A provisional application only establishes your filing date and expires automatically after one year. You may file a provisional application when you are not ready to enter your application into the regular examination process. A provisional application establishes a filing date at a lower cost for a first patent application filing in the United States. A provisional application allows the term "Patent Pending" to be applied to your invention.
