A patent is a type of intellectual property that gives its owner the legal right to exclude others from making, using, or selling an invention for a limited period. In the US, patents are granted by the USPTO. There are several types, but our tool focuses on the two most common:
Granted for a new and useful process, machine, article of manufacture, or composition of matter. Most patents you encounter fall into this category.
A patent application that has been published by the USPTO. This document makes the details of the invention publicly available before the patent is officially granted.
Our US Patent to PDF tool offers a range of features to simplify your workflow.
Once you have your PDF, you can use our other tools to further manage your documents. For example, use our PDF Compressor to reduce the file size for easy sharing, or our PDF Merge tool to combine multiple patents into a single document for comprehensive research.
A patent is an intellectual property right that has been granted by the USPTO. A patent publication is the public record of a patent application, published while the application is still under review. Our tool can download both types of documents, as long as you have the correct number.
