Penn State University Libraries - Who Can Help

For assistance with understanding patent search resources and general questions about patents and trademarks, please contact the librarians and staff of the Physical and Mathematical Sciences Library by phone (814-865-7617), or by E-mail.

Please note: Librarians and library staff are familiar with patent search resources and can demonstrate the use of computerized databases and other resources for searching. We are not trained or licensed legal professionals. This means that we are not able to advise you regarding any legal matters, including whether or not your invention is patentable, nor can we provide legal assistance for you. A database of registered patent attorneys is available on the USPTO Web site.
