  United States Patent and Trademark Office - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The United States Patent and Trademark Office (PTO or USPTO) is an agency in the United States Department of Commerce that provides patent and trademark protection to inventors and businesses for their inventions and corporate and product identification.
The PTO is currently based in Alexandria, Virginia, after a recent move from the Crystal City area of Arlington, Virginia.
The PTO only allows certain qualified persons to practice before the PTO, which includes the filing of patent applications on behalf of inventors, the prosecuting patent applications on behalf of inventors, and participating in administrative appeals and other proceedings before the quasi-legal PTO examiners and boards.

The PTO is one of the world's largest Intellectual Property Offices, processing in excess of 400,000 patent and trademark applications and in excess of 1,600,000 transactions in connection with these applications in 1999.

 Disclosing Prior Art to the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office
As there is no obligation to conduct a patentability search either prior to filing a patent application or during the pendency of the same, the duty to disclose amounts to the sharing of information with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office.
Frequently, it is advantageous to identify the most relevant prior art in the patent application as filed, as this provides an initial opportunity to place the prior art in context in the evolutionary process that led to the invention.
This is particularly true in view of the fact that the rules state that no patent will be granted on an application in connection with which fraud on the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office was practiced or attempted or the duty of disclosure was violated through bad faith or intentional misconduct.
