The Deputy Commissioner for Patent Quality is pleased to announce the twelfth Patent Quality Chat in the 2016 webinar series on Tuesday, November 8th from noon to 1 pm ET on our Clarity of the Record Pilot. Director of Technology Center 2800 Robin Evans and Acting Director of the Office of Patent Quality Assurance Marty Rater will discuss the construction of the pilot and our findings. We invite all attendees to listen in and provide your feedback on what we have identified as key drivers of patent quality. Improving the clarity of the patent prosecution record is an important step towards enhancing our Excellence in Work Products as a part of the Enhanced Patent Quality Initiative (EPQI) and maintaining high patent quality moving forward. We hope you will join us for an engaging and enlightening discussion.
