U.S. Patent and Trademark Office

The United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) grants U.S. patents and registers trademarks. Its mission is to drive U.S. innovation and global competitiveness for the benefit of all Americans. 

The USPTO furthers effective IP protection for U.S. innovators and entrepreneurs worldwide by working with other agencies to secure strong IP provisions in free trade and other international agreements. 

It also provides training, education, and capacity-building programs designed to foster respect for IP and encourage the development of strong IP enforcement regimes by U.S. trading partners.
