The USPTO wants to hear from you

The USPTO has reiterated its call for comments and suggestions for the forthcoming new strategic plan that will guide agency operations from 2007 through 2012.   You can send your ideas by e-mail to StrategicPlanning1@uspto.gov.

It’s perhaps a fortunate coincidence that the development of the next strategic plan comes as the same time as PTO stakeholders are digesting radical steps proposed by the Office as partial solutions to the growing backlog of pending patent applications.  Throwing your hands up in disgust at the proposed rules?  Do something constructive — send your ideas as comments on the strategic planning initiative.
