The General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade signed by President Clinton on December 8, 1994. One resulting change is that a U.S. patent, if granted on an application filed on or after June 8, 1995, will have a term measured by 20 years from the filing date rather than the prior standard of 17 years from the date the patent was granted. Patents in force on June 8, 1995, and applications filed before that date will have a term that is the longer of these two terms. GATT also provided for provisional applications.
