Celebrating the one millionth patent eGrant
Today, the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) will officially issue the 1 millionth electronic patent grant (eGrant), marking a major milestone in the agency’s modernization of the patent grant process.
The eGrant is the official, legally binding patent issued electronically by the USPTO.
The 1 million eGrants published are not simply digital documents—they deliver tangible benefits:
- Faster protection: Inventors receive enforceable patent rights sooner, providing greater certainty to invest, grow, and compete.
- Operational efficiency: The transition to eGrants streamlined publication times, getting groundbreaking technologies to the marketplace sooner.
- A modern USPTO: The eGrant reinforces the USPTO’s role as a forward-thinking, digital-first IP office committed to secure, high-quality digital services.
- Benefit to applicants and practitioners: The eGrant program also provides applicants with enhanced security, simplified digital records management, and global compatibility across IP systems. These improvements allow inventors and attorneys to access, share, and act on granted patents immediately, supporting faster enforcement, licensing, and commercialization.
Publishing the 1 millionth patent eGrant is a meaningful milestone for the USPTO and a reflection of the collective efforts that support innovation, economic growth, and trust.
