Summary

Seal of the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Patent_and_Trademark_Office" class="extiw" title="en:United States Patent and Trademark Office">United States Patent and Trademark Office</a>. The seal is used to authenticate letters patent, certificates of trademark registrations, and papers issued by USPTO.

This version of the seal dates from August 26, 2003, and consists of a federal eagle astride a shield clutching an olive branch and arrows. This was simplified from an earlier version, which additionally contained an anvil, sledge and gear wheel to represent industrial technologies, and a sheaf of wheat, sickle, and plow to represent agricultural technologies.

A directive dated March 30, 2000 showing the old seal is <a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="http://www.uspto.gov/web/offices/dcom/olia/aipa/uspto.pdf">here</a>, and the directive changing the design in 2003 is <a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="http://www.uspto.gov/web/offices/com/sol/notices/68fr52184.pdf">here</a>.
