The Chester F. Carlson Patent & Trademark Center is an official Patent and Trademark Depository Library. We are part of a nationwide network of libraries that work with the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) to provide information services to the public. The Center is located on the 3rd floor of the Bausch & Lomb Public Library Building at the Central Library of Rochester and Monroe County.
The
Center is named for Chester F. Carlson, inventor of xerography and
patent attorney. He did research on photoelectricity and
photoconductivity at the New York Public Library which led to the
development of the xerography process. The Chester F. Carlson Patent &
Trademark Center is partially supported through a generous grant from
the Chester and Dorris Carlson Charitable Trust.
The Central Library's Business & Government Division has
books that will help you evaluate your invention's marketability,
and investigate ways to sell it. Business directories can be used to
search for manufacturers. The Small Business Resource Center has
information to help you plan and begin your own business. Beware of Invention Promotion Scams! / Intellectual Property / Patent Searching / Inventor Links / "Patent My Ideas" Tutorial / Inventor's Society of Western New York
