Invention Secrecy Act
"Patent applications are screened upon receipt in the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) for subject matter that if disclosed might impact national security. The Invention Secrecy Act of 1951 provides that whenever 'the publication or disclosure of the invention by . . . the granting of a patent therefore would be detrimental to national security . . . the Commissioner of Patents shall order that the invention be kept secret.' This order prevents the patent from being issued until the secrecy order is lifted and prohibits the inventor from publishing or disclosing any material information related to the invention." (p. 472, ¶1)

Secrecy Orders
"A secrecy order restricts disclosure of the invention or dissemination of information in the patent application. As a result of the secrecy order, the Commissioner orders that the invention be kept secret by sending the inventor a notice of the order. The notice instructs the inventor that 'the subject matter or any material information relevant to this application including unpublished details of the invention shall not be published or disclosed to any person not aware of the invention prior to the date of this order, including any employee of the principals.'" (p. 477, ¶2)

"Like other patent applications, patent applications with secrecy orders must be evaluated for patentability. An established secrecy order remains in effect as long as a government agency determines that the national interest requires that it remain in place. When the commissioner determines that an application with a secrecy order qualifies for a patent, the USPTO issues a notice of allowability, which precludes or ends prosecution of the application." (p. 477, ¶3)

Invention Secrecy Act
"This research was a preliminary investigation into the current baseline level of IP support at the department and the components. This baseline is intended to guide DHS’s planning efforts in a new area of IP functionality: Invention Secrecy Act of 1951 (Pub. L. 82-256, 1952) reviews. However, S&T first requires an understanding of what IP functions are already provided and currently needed, and what level of effort is needed to maintain a robust IP program that supports the full range of mission functions within DHS’s purview." (Page 1, Paragraph 2)

ISA (Invention Secrecy Act)
"This research was a preliminary investigation into the current baseline level of IP support at DHS and its components. This baseline is intended to guide DHS’s planning efforts in a new area of IP functionality: Invention Secrecy Act of 1951 (Pub. L. 82-256, 1952) reviews." (Page 2, Paragraph 1)

"S&T needs to have a comprehensive understanding of the IP functions that DHS currently provides. For current purposes, we briefly review the history and purpose of the act as another dimension of IP that DHS has to manage. Furthermore, DHS leadership will need to understand the resources required to deploy a robust IP program with the capacity to support the full range of mission functions within DHS’s purview." (Page 21, Paragraph 1)

"A follow-on report for DHS officials will provide a deeper review of the act and its implementation. As mentioned in the introduction to this report, DHS is planning how to implement patent application reviews for national security risk per the ISA." (Page 22, Paragraph 1)

Secrecy Orders
"Like other patent applications, patent applications with secrecy orders must be evaluated for patentability. An established secrecy order remains in effect as long as a government agency determines that the national interest requires that it remain in place. When the commissioner determines that an application with a secrecy order qualifies for a patent, the USPTO issues a notice of allowability, which precludes or ends prosecution of the application." (Page 22, Paragraph 3)

Policy Considerations for ISA
"We raise some of the criticisms here as background information for DHS decisionmakers. Although ISA reviews are required by statute, they are not without their critics. Various scholars have argued that secrecy orders that are established in peacetime are not justifiable, given minimal findings on modern circumstances that necessitate such a policy." (Page 23, Paragraph 1)
