PLANT PATENTS

BACKGROUND

UMass Libraries is a Patent and Trademark Depository Library. There is a complete file of plant patents issued in the Science and Engineering Library.

For a description of the plant patent program, and supporting collection, see the Library's Patents and Trademarks subject page: http://guides.library.umass.edu/patents

CATALOGING AND ACCESSIBILITY

The plant patents are already cataloged.

All new materials relevant to the plant patent collection are (and should be) cataloged to Reference Collection at the Science and Engineering Library (SEL). Paulina Borrego is the Library's patents and trademark specialist. Send all new plant patent materials to Paulina Borrego. She then gives them to Cindy Spell to catalog.

All plant patents issued are either print or microfiche, and are in file cabinets on the SEL 3rd Floor East. (Note: there is no official electronic version issued by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office because the image reproduction of the detailed photographs is not sufficient).

Plant Patents 1-10,000 are in microfiche, in acid free folders in the very front of the first file cabinet. Plant Patents 10,001+ are paper, and are filed after the microfiche in several file cabinets.

There are catalog records for the plant patents in WorldCat and Aleph. Look for the following:

United States Plant patent (SCI REF QK46.U54) United States Plant patent (SCI REF MICROFICHE 101)
