September 20: Public listening session—Innovating ideas on standards and intellectual property

The United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO), in collaboration with the International Trade Administration (ITA) and the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), will hold a public listening session on September 20 to hear feedback from interested stakeholders on issues at the intersection of standard-setting and intellectual property.

The feedback received from this program will help the Department of Commerce to implement the U.S. government’s National Standards Strategy for Critical and Emerging Technology, which was released by the White House in May 2023. The strategy, among other things, seeks to strengthen U.S. engagement in standards-setting for critical and emerging technologies.

This in-person program is free and open to the public. It will be held at USPTO headquarters in Alexandria, Virginia, on Wednesday, September 20, from 1-5 p.m. ET, and will also be livestreamed for remote viewing. Space is limited for in-person attendance, and early registration is encouraged.

Those interested in speaking at the program must register by Wednesday, September 13.
