Note: The Smith-Leahy America Invents Act, passed in 2011, made changes to various patent laws and timelines. When using a print source published prior to the Act, care should be taken to verify your research via a supplement, pocket-part or by confirming the information using an updated source.

The USPTO provides HTML and PDF versions of the Manual of Patent Examining Procedure. An online searchable version is also available.

The Manual is an important tool in the patent process, in that it sets out the practices and procedures applied by the USPTO in the examination and evaluation of a patent application.
