37 C.F.R. § 1.297 Publication of statutory invention registration.
Title 37 - Patents, Trademarks, and Copyrights
(a) If the request for a statutory invention registration is approved the statutory invention registration will be published. The statutory invention registration will be mailed to the requester at the correspondence address as provided for in §1.33(a). A notice of the publication of each statutory invention registration will be published in the Official Gazette. (b) Each statutory invention registration published will include a statement relating to the attributes of a statutory invention registration. The statement will read as follows:
A statutory invention registration is not a patent. It has the defensive attributes of a patent but does not have the enforceable attributes of a patent. No article or advertisement or the like may use the term patent, or any term suggestive of a patent, when referring to a statutory invention registration. For more specific information on the rights associated with a statutory invention registration see 35 U.S.C. 157. [50 FR 9383, Mar. 7, 1985, as amended at 50 FR 31826, Aug. 6, 1985]
