Types of Publishing Vouchers
There are two types of publishing vouchers: Publishing and Page Print. The vouchers are good for a minimum of 1 year after purchase.
- Publishing Vouchers allow you to publish and download the document on-line in PAD, reproduce an electronic version on optical media, and print the standard listing on paper in The IP.com Journal. The standard listing in The IP.com Journal includes the document title, abstract, and bibliographic information. An electronic reproduction of your disclosure on optical media includes one or more CD/DVD disks containing each complete disclosure along with its digital notarization record, if applicable.
- Page Print Vouchers are required if submitting a full printed copy in The IP.com Journal (one voucher per printable page). A page print voucher permits you to publish the complete text of your document in The IP.com Journal, with one voucher needed for every printed page. You will determine the number of pages during the publishing process. This printed submission is an additional service beyond the standard Journal services included with a Publishing Voucher.
