USPTO accepting additional comment on state sovereign immunity

On November 5, 2020, the USPTO published a Federal Register notice (85 FR 70589) requesting public input regarding the extent to which patent or trademark right holders are experiencing infringement by state entities without adequate remedies under state law. The time for submitting that input closed on December 21, 2020. The USPTO has reopened the comment period through a Federal Register notice published on January 22, 2021 (86 FR 6636) and will accept additional comment until February 22, 2021.
