Join us virtually for our fifth Public Engagement Partnership meeting to learn about how the USPTO's Patents organization gathers customer input on patent quality and hear about key findings in this area.
The United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) is looking to increase our interaction with the public about the patent system by hosting a series of meetings we’re calling the Public Engagement Partnership. We want to connect with individuals, advocacy groups, public interest focused nonprofits, and academics in order to exchange ideas, experiences, and insights related to patent policies and procedures.
Meetings will have their specific agendas providing opportunities to:
- Learn about the patent system and the USPTO’s practices and policies
- Participate in panel discussions
- Learn how read a patent and its parts.
- Learn how to submit third-party input on a patent application
- Learn how to submit requests for reexamination of patents
- Learn how to challenge patents after they are issued
