Patent mapping is the process of matching each limitation of a patent claim to a potentially infringing product or service. So if the patent claim recites limitations X, Y, and Z, patent mapping identifies which features of the infringing product or service perform limitations X, Y, and Z.

The question misunderstands the adjudication that took place concerning the Redskins' Intellectual Property. Intellectual Property is protected from infringing copies by the US Patent Office through registry with them However, a group that can claim that the image or property that is copyrighted is offensive to members of that group. In the case of the Redskins, several Native Americans brought suit to the adjudication board of the US Patent Office and demanded that the patent be rescinded since it is offensive to them. The Patent Office heard arguments from both the Native Americans and from the Redskins and determined that the Native Americans' arguments were correct. Therefore the protection granted by the Patent Office was rescinded.
The Redskins have not lost the ability to use the symbols or any other intellectual property associated with the rescinded patent, nor has the Patent Office "acquired it" from the Redskins. However, with the loss of the patent, there is no more legal grounds for the Redskins to claim that any copying of their signs or logos is an infringement of an existing patent.

A non drafted provisional application provides the means to establish an early priotiy date. It allows filing without any formal patent claims, declaration or any information disclosure (prior art statements). Such applications enable inventor to put 'Patent Pending' on his products. If provisional application is fully drafted it allows the inventor to have a better claim over his invention in view of potential infringer. He can claim his invention in a wider manner.

A patent is a grant from a patent office, such as the United States Patent Office. "Patent Pending" is a phrase that an application for a patent has been filed and is in some stage in the process of obtaining a patent. Thus, a patent can be presently enforced while a patent that is merely pending is unenforceable but can mature into a patent that can be enforced. Once the pending patent matures, the patent owner can sue for back damages or reasonable royalties starting from the filing date of the patent.

You can file as many US provisional patent applications as you want to, giving you "patent pending" on whatever is disclosed in those files. However, you can only claim "filing priority" from one that was filed within the preceding 12 months. If you have used the invention in public or otherwise disclosed it (such as in a publication), the statutory "clock" cannot be stopped and you have only one year in which to file for a patent or otherwise permanently lose your right to obtain one in the USA.
It is best to use the one-year grace period to find investors to pay for the additional fees necessary for preparing and filing a "full patent". If you cannot find such investors, it may be time to reconsider the value of pursuing any patent.

There is no way to give you protection for your "property" until the application process has been completed. The Patent Office must search to see if other patents already exist for your property. You also have to meet specific guidelines that determine if you are even eligible for your specific patent. Your application also much be carefully and correctly completed before the investigation can even begin. BUT when considering if your property can be patented, the date of your application is proof that the idea or whatever belongs to you. That is a form of protection. If there is another like yours out there, the first one wins! If that happens to be you, you will have all of the benefits a patent offers. If not, you wouldn't have them anyway.
Once your application is submitted it is labeled "Patent Pending" from that date. Once you have your patent, anyone who has marketed your idea while your patent was still in the process could be charged with infringement.
It's a bit complicated, but you can't just claim something to be yours because you filed an application.

Patents protect inventors from having their work copied by others. The work to be protected must be original, useful, and not obvious. An example of this is the popular drug Zocor. It was under patent until June, 2006, so no other company could make and sell that drug. The patent expired and now other companies can sell the drug labeled with its generic name, Simvastatin.
Once issued, a patent can be used to prevent others from making, using, selling or importing any product or service that infringes any valid claim in the issued patent, but only in countries where the patent is issued and valid.

Pretty much nothing, according to my atty. I asked her about a year ago what my options are when applying for a patent. Can't remember why exactly, but it's almost pointless to apply for pending status and I think I remember something about someone else still being able to jump in and claim it as their own invention.
