Numbers |
For each agency contributing to the grant

first actual reduction to practice of the
invention was made, the corresponding grant
or contract number must be provided. The format
of the grant or contract number is unique

Foreign
Filings |
The Foreign Filings fields are used to record
information (country, status, and action date)
regarding any foreign filings associated with
the patent filing.
The iEdison system allows up to 12 foreign
filings to be associated with a patent filing.
The main screen allows entry of the first
foreign filing. Additional foreign filings
may be added using the "Add/Edit Foreign Filings"
button.
There are no government regulations requiring
that foreign patent applications be filed.
However, the agency must be notified if there
will be no foreign filing in order to give
the government agency time to make such a
filing on its own if it chooses to do so.
The government realizes the time constraints
encountered by grantee institutions prior
to foreign filing deadlines and will allow
users to indicate where a foreign application
has been filed ten months after a U.S. patent
application has been filed on a particular
Invention Report.
