Not every number that flashes on your phone should spark joy—but if it's from 571, it just might.
In this episode, registered patent attorney Adam Diament explains why seeing a call from the 571 area code (home of the USPTO) usually means good news for inventors. It often signals that a patent examiner is calling with an Examiner’s Amendment—a minor correction that could speed up your patent’s approval.
📞 What you’ll learn:
- What Examiner’s Amendments are (and why they’re helpful)
- Why USPTO examiners make these calls
- What to do when you get one—and when to say yes or no
- How to protect yourself from area code spoofing and patent scams
If you're navigating the patent process or working with a patent attorney, this quick episode will give you insight into a lesser-known (but exciting!) step toward patent approval.
