P. 6504

P. 6504 refers to U.S. Patent No. 6,504,000. Patents are granted by governmental authorities, typically the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) in the U.S., protecting inventions from being made, used, or sold by others without the patent holder's permission for a specific period. The patent number serves as a unique identifier for a particular invention. To find the specific details of the invention protected by P. 6504, one would search the USPTO's database or other patent search engines using this number. The resulting documentation would include the inventors, assignee (owner), date of filing, date of publication, claims defining the invention, specifications describing the invention in detail, and prior art references examined during the patent application process. Patents are classified into various technology areas, and the classification information for P. 6504 would also be accessible through the USPTO database. The scope of protection offered by P. 6504 is defined by its claims, which are the numbered paragraphs at the end of the patent document. Understanding the claims is crucial to determining what others are legally prohibited from doing.
