Font requirements for patent applications

Nov 06, 2005 2 Replies

Hi, In page 57, Chapter 600 of "Manual of Patent Examining Procedure", it specifies what fonts can be used in an application for patent: "(ii) Text written in a nonscript type font (e.g., Arial, Times Roman, or Courier) lettering style having capital letters which are at least



0.21 cm (0.08 inch) high;"

I have been using "Times New Roman" font, because I cannot find "Times Roman" in Microsoft Word software.



Is there any problem? Any advices or suggestions?



Thank you.

I have submitted patent applications with Times New Roman with success.
