 Patent Law - IPWatchdog
There are three types of patents available in the United States: (1) a utility patent, which covers the functional aspects of products and processes; (2) a design patent, which covers the ornamental design of useful objects; and (3) a plant patent, which covers a new variety of living plant.
In determining whether an invention worthy of patent protection does exist, the Constitution requires the invention proffered by the applicant to be new, useful and the embodiment of a scientific advance.
Indeed, in so fashioning the patent laws to enhance the quid pro quo envisioned by the founding fathers, Congress has enacted certain description requirements that certainly further the goals of the Patent Clause, but which are not constitutional requirements in and of themselves.

Integra Lifesciences, that uses of patented inventions in preclinical research, in which the results are never submitted to the FDA, are exempted from infringement under 35 U.S.C. §271(e)(1).
In its ruling, the Court found that the statutory infringement exemption of the 1984 Drug Price Competition and Patent Term Restoration Act (DPCPTRA) provides a "wide berth for the use of patented drugs" in any process or activity associated with the federal regulatory scheme, embracing a "global" gamut of experimental activity.
Accordingly, the statute exempts from infringement any and all experimental uses of patented inventions "reasonably related" to processes and activities aimed at eventual culmination in submissions to the federal regulatory process.
