The United States government grants patents for inventions that are new and novel. The determination of whether an invention is new and novel takes place during the prosecution or examination of the patent application that discloses the invention. The prosecution phase is confidential and the public has no participation in or knowledge of the details concerning the patent application and the prosecution process.
