International Patent Protection for Small Businesses and Prior User Rights Studies
The Federal Circuit Bar Association: International Patent Protection for Small Businesses and Prior User Rights Studies
The USPTO is presently working on the International Patent Protection for Small Businesses and Prior User Rights Studies, both of which have reports due to Congress in mid-January. They recently published two Federal Register Notices (available on the PTO website) seeking written comments and/or testimony in a hearing setting from the public. The Notices are also available here:
The agency would greatly benefit from public input on both studies, either through written comments and/or oral testimony at the hearings they have planned. Here are the logistics for those hearings:• International Patent Protection: Thursday, October 27th from 1 to 4 PM at the USPTO and Tuesday, November 1st from 9 AM to noon at USC Law School in Los Angeles
• Prior User Rights: Tuesday, October 25th from 8:30 to 11:30 AM at the USPTO
Thank you, and we hope you can take advantage of this opportunity to participate in the dialogue about the America Invents Act.
