    • ]]>     David Kappos has announced that the USPTO will fast-track patent applications for small to mid-sized entities (which includes independent inventors) as a part of his overall patent office reform.  To get on the fast track, you need to swap out an old application that has yet to be examined.  Click to read more about this USPTO change.

  • USPTO has a New Blog
    • ]]>     We recently wrote an article about the backlog at the United States Patent and Trademark Office. In that article, we mentioned many problems that the USPTO is facing and how that is affecting inventors. But today, I read three articles about how the USPTO is trying to change. Not all the news is good for inventors, especially regarding Patent Reform Acts being discussed in Congress, but for the most part, the USPTO is trying to make changes to better serve inventors. Take a look at these articles, one of which is an announcement from the USPTO itself.
