Abstract
This article presents basic information on the U.S. export control laws most relevant to U.S. patent practice, including the preparation and filing of patent applications related to commercial items, and the intended audience of this article is the U.S. patent practitioner who does not routinely deal with export-controlled subject matter. If the patent practitioner intends to: export technical information from the U.S. for the purpose of having a patent application prepared; hire or work with foreign nationals (who may or may not actually be in the U.S.) in conducting technical research or patentability and invalidity searches; or help prepare patent applications for filing, the practitioner is encouraged to become familiar with the Export Administration Regulations (EAR) and the International Traffic in Arms Regulations as discussed below, or to consult an export control practitioner for further guidance.
