About United States Patent and Trademark Office
The United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) is a federal agency inside the U.S. Department of Commerce that acts as the national patent office and the trademark registration authority. Its headquarters campus is in Alexandria, Virginia, and most public events at the USPTO are held in the Madison Building. The agency states that its mission centers on driving U.S. innovation and global competitiveness, and it runs training and capacity-building programs meant to encourage respect for intellectual property among trading partners.
The agency grants patents and registers trademarks, and its online systems let applicants file, track applications, and maintain their rights. Appeals are handled by dedicated boards, including the Patent Trial and Appeal Board and the Trademark Trial and Appeal Board. The sources reviewed do not list a USPTO office located in New York State. The Northeast Regional Outreach Office is based in the Alexandria, Virginia, headquarters, and it serves Maine, Vermont, New Hampshire, Connecticut, Rhode Island, Pennsylvania, New York, New Jersey, Maryland, District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, Delaware, and Massachusetts. In New York, certain libraries serve as a nationwide network of public, state, and academic libraries designated by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office to support patent and trademark assistance, such as the Queens center at St. John's University.
