`
`PROTECTING YOUR INVENTION OUTSIDE THE UNITED STATES
`
`Since the rights granted by a US. patent extend only throughout the territory of the United States and have no
`effect in a foreign country, an inventor who wishes patent protection in another country must apply for a patent
`in a specific country or in regional patent offices. Applicants may wish to consider the filing of an international
`application under the Patent Cooperation Treaty (PCT). An international (PCT) application generally has the same
`effect as a regular national patent application in each PCT-member country. The PCT process simplifies the filing
`of patent applications on the same invention in member countries, but does not result in a grant of "an international

`
`

`

`patent" and does not eliminate the need of applicants to file additional documents and fees in countries where patent
`protection is desired.
`
`Almost every country has its own patent law, and a person desiring a patent in a particular country must make an
`application for patent in that country in accordance with its particular laws. Since the laws of many countries differ
`in various respects from the patent law of the United States, applicants are advised to seek guidance from specific
`foreign countries to ensure that patent rights are not lost prematurely.
`
`Applicants also are advised that in the case of inventions made in the United States, the Director of the USPTO must
`issue a license before applicants can apply for a patent in a foreign country. The filing of a US. patent application
`serves as a request for a foreign filing license. The application's filing receipt contains further information and
`guidance as to the status of applicant's license for foreign filing.
`
`Applicants may wish to consult the USPTO booklet, "General Information Concerning Patents" (specifically, the
`section entitled "Treaties and Foreign Patents") for more information on timeframes and deadlines for filing foreign
`patent applications. The guide is available either by contacting the USPTO Contact Center at 800-786-9199, or it
`can be viewed on the USPTO website at http://www.uspto.gov/web/offices/pac/doc/general/index.html.
`
`For information on preventing theft of your intellectual property (patents, trademarks and copyrights), you may wish
`to consult the US. Government website, http://www.stopfakes.gov. Part of a Department of Commerce initiative,
`this website includes self-help "toolkits" giving innovators guidance on how to protect intellectual property in specific
`countries such as China, Korea and Mexico. For questions regarding patent enforcement issues, applicants may
`call the US. Government hotline at 1-866-999-HALT (1-866-999-4158).

`LICENSE FOR FOREIGN FILING UNDER
`
`Title 35, United States Code, Section 184
`
`Title 37, Code of Federal Regulations, 5.11 & 5.15
`
`GRANTED
`
`if the phrase "IF REQUIRED, FOREIGN FILING
`The applicant has been granted a license under 35 U.S.C. 184,
`LICENSE GRANTED" followed by a date appears on this form. Such licenses are issued in all applications where
`the conditions for issuance of a license have been met, regardless of whether or not a license may be required as
`set forth in 37 CFR 5.15. The scope and limitations of this license are set forth in 37 CFR 5.15(a) unless an earlier
`license has been issued under 37 CFR 5.15(b). The license is subject to revocation upon written notification. The
`date indicated is the effective date of the license, unless an earlier license of similar scope has been granted under
`37 CFR 5.13 or 5.14.
`
`This license is to be retained by the licensee and may be used at any time on or after the effective date thereof unless
`it is revoked. This license is automatically transferred to any related applications(s) filed under 37 CFR 1.53(d). This
`license is not retroactive.
`
`The grant of a license does not in any way lessen the responsibility of a licensee for the security of the subject matter
`as imposed by any Government contract or the provisions of existing laws relating to espionage and the national
`security or the export of technical data. Licensees should apprise themselves of current regulations especially with
`respect to certain countries, of other agencies, particularly the Office of Defense Trade Controls, Department of
`State (with respect to Arms, Munitions and Implements of War (22 CFR 121-128)); the Bureau of Industry and

`NOT GRANTED

`No license under 35 U.S.C. 184 has been granted at this time, if the phrase "IF REQUIRED, FOREIGN FILING
`LICENSE GRANTED" DOES NOT appear on this form. Applicant may still petition for a license under 37 CFR 5.12,
`if a license is desired before the expiration of 6 months from the filing date of the application. If 6 months has lapsed
`from the filing date of this application and the licensee has not received any indication of a secrecy order under 35
`U.S.C. 181, the licensee may foreign file the application pursuant to 37 CFR 5.15(b).

`
`INVENTION Holding Device for a Hand Held Device (ie. PDA, Smartphone, Cell Phone, Tablet PC)
`INVENTOR NAME Michael Shayne Karmatz
`ADDRESS 7 Pineridge St, Melville, NY 11747
`
`A holding method or apparatus that allows the user of a hand-held device HHD (ie. cell
`
`phone, pda, smart phone, tablet or any other hand held device) the ability to hold and
`
`use the HHD in one hand securely freeing up the user's thumb. for a greater range of
`
`motion, to operate the front of the HHD.
`
`Most users do not have the ability to hold an HHD with one hand and use their thumb (of
`
`that same hand) to navigate all parts of the front screen due to size of their hand and/or
`
`size of the HHD. This is more common today, with the emergence of larger HHDs
`
`(Smartphones like lphone, Evo 49, Samsung Galaxy S which are big screen PDAs).
`
`This holding device allows the user to navigate the entire HHD with one hand more
`
`easily than before, which allows for added productivity and multitasking.
`
`This holding method or apparatus can be produced using various types of materials
`
`including but not limited to metal, rubber, plastic and/or synthetic materials. The holding
`
`method or apparatus can be attached to the HHD by a variety of fasteners or can be
`
`built into the back of the HHD, back cover of HHD, skin, sleeve, bumper or clip to the
`
`HHD.
`
`Once the apparatus is in place, the user's finger(s) (excluding the thumb) will provide the
`
`support and grip for the HHD to rest comfortably and securely in the palm of the hand
`
`while the thumb of that hand has the freedom to navigate the entire front screen of the
`
`HHD.

`Petitioner/applicant is cautioned to avoid submitting personal information in documents filed in a patent application that may
`contribute to identity theft. Personal information such as social security numbers, bank account numbers, or credit card
`numbers (other than a check or credit card authorization form PTO—2038 submitted for payment purposes) is never required
`by the USPTO to support a petition or an application.
`If this type of personal information is included in documents submitted
`to the USPTO, petitioners/applicants should consider redacting such personal information from the documents before
`submitting them to USPTO. Petitioner/applicant is advised that the record of a patent application is available to the public
`after publication of the application (unless a non-publication request in compliance with 37 CFR 1.213(a) is made in the
`application) or issuance of a patent. Furthermore, the record from an abandoned application may also be available to the
`public if the application is referenced in a published application or an issued patent (see 37 CFR1.14). Checks and credit
`card authorization forms PTO-2038 submitted for payment purposes are not retained in the application file and therefore are
`not publicly available.
