Nanotechnology Customer Partnership Meeting

May 4, 2005

United States Patent and Trademark Office
Alexandria, Virginia 22314
South Auditorium, Madison Building

This Nanotechnology Customer Partnership initiative is designed and developed to be a forum to share ideas, experiences, and insights between individual users and the USPTO. The USPTO does not intend to use these customer partnership groups to arrive at a group consensus. Individual opinions are sought from varying participants, and the meetings are intended to be informal in nature. These customer partnership groups are formed with full recognition of the USPTO’s responsibility under the Federal Advisory Committee Act (FACA), and are not established as FACA compliant committees.

We value our customers and the feedback provided from individual participants is important in our efforts to continuously improve the quality of our products and services. Your willing participation in this informal process is helpful in providing us with new insights and perspectives.

Nanotechnology materials, including the Class 977 schedule, definitions, and digest link, have been posted at the Office of Patent Classification website located at http://www.uspto.gov/web/offices/opc/index.html. These materials and the Digest link are located under the heading: Working Schedule and Definitions for Class 977, Nanotechnology.

DATE AND LOCATION: This meeting is scheduled for Wednesday, May 4, 2005, from 1:00 pm to 5:00 pm, in the Madison Auditorium, South Side, located at 600 Dulany Street, in Alexandria, Virginia.
