US Patent and Trademark Office seeks stakeholder input for new strategic plan

The United States Patent and Trademark Office is currently developing a new strategic plan and Commissioner John Doll wants your input. The Office is interested in ideas from all types of stakeholders, including individual inventors, small and large businesses, and practitioners. You can send your comments via e-mail to StrategicPlanning1@uspto.gov.

This invitation to participate in the strategic planning efforts of the Office may indeed be the best forum for presenting ideas and suggestions for improving the prosecution system. I encourage everyone involved in the system to share your thoughts, ideas and suggestions with the Office.

You can view and/or download various materials relating to the current strategic plan, the 21st Century Strategic Plan, here.
