USPTO GOES GREEN WITH ELECTRONIC PATENT GRANTS

Starting on April 18^th, 2023 the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) will begin moving away from paper patent grants and moving towards issuing electronic patent grants (eGrants).  Ceremonial paper versions of patent grants will be provided during the transitional period.  After the transitional period there will be a small fee for the ceremonial paper versions.

To read more about this transition, please see the eGrant FAQ document on the USPTO website.
