I’ve posted several times about the America Invents Act, which was passed last September by Congress. Soon, you can attend a discussion forum with USPTO officials about the rules the Office has proposed to implement the legislation. Although the attendees may be mostly patent attorneys and other legal professionals, I think it is commendable that the USPTO is making itself available to the the general public to discuss the upcoming sweeping changes to the patent system.
The roadshow will hit the following cities between February 15 and March 9:
- Alexandria, VA
- Sunnyvale, CA
- Salt Lake City, UT
- Dallas, TX
- Ft. Lauderdale, FL
- Boston, MA
- Chicago, IL
- San Diego, CA
