Finally, some out-of-the-box thinking from the PTO

The United States Patent and Trademark Office is apparently exploring the idea of opening a “satellite office” in Denver. Nice. This is fresh, out-of-the-box thinking by the PTO that could lead to long-term solutions on the pendency and quality issues. How? For one, it allows the government to tap a whole new labor market for Examiners. Think about it. An associate in our firm is apparently daydreaming about it.
