2004
Annual Index of Patents
Issued from the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office
Subscriber Notice

We are pleased to provide you with a copy of the 2004 Index to Patents Issued from the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office. This electronic annual index is unique from previous paper annual indexes in that both the indexes and Electronic Official Gazette – Patents (eOG:P) bibliographic records for the year are included in this one source.

The eOG:P records contain bibliographic information, including classification, inventor and assignee, as well as a representative claim and drawing (if applicable). The eOG:P records are indexed and browsable by classification and type of patent (utility, plant, etc.), in addition to patentee name and geographical location of the inventor. With this edition of the Index, the ability to search by patent number has also been added. Links are provided from all indexes to the record for that patent.

The year’s Official Gazette Notices, covering both patents and trademarks, are included as is the Consolidated Listing of Official Gazette Notices Re-Patent and Trademark Office Practices and Procedures. This publication is a compilation of the most important notices and rule changes which have been published in the Official Gazette from July 1, 1964, through December 31, 2004. Appendices include a summary of the number of Patents, Defensive Publications, and Statutory Invention Registrations issued from 1836 through 2004 and a listing of Patent and Trademark Depository Libraries (PTDLs).

The Index to Patents Issued from the USPTO has now been published in electronic format for the years 2001 through 2004. The Index of Patents Issued from the USPTO will continue to be published in a paper format through the 2000 Index. The paper publication will continue to be supplied by the Superintendent of Documents, U.S. Government Printing Office (GPO).
