An important milestone in the patenting of an invention is the issuance of a Notice of Allowance by the United States Patent and Trademark Office. After months and sometimes years, of review and consideration of an invention, the U.S. Patent Office makes a determination as to whether the invention can be allowed to receive a United States patent. If the determination is positive for an invention, the Patent Office issues a Notice of Allowance stating that the examination of the merits of the invention has been completed and the issuance of a patent for the invention can be allowed. The actual patent certificate, however, is typically sent to the inventors several weeks after the Notice of Allowance has been issued.
