Notice of Restructuring and Move
of Patent Examining Corps
The Patent Examining Corps is being restructured and expanded to meet
the needs of the public, changing technology, and workload requirements.
The restructuring involves hiring a large number of new examiners and a
rebalancing of the examining Corps to more accurately reflect anticipated
workloads and better associate related arts. This will necessitate some
art units being moved.
Additionally, art units will be shifted among groups to provide
appropriate support for the changing workloads.
It is expected that the relocation and other changes will begin about
April 2, 1995, and end by April 20, 1995. The Art Units affected will then
be located as shown in the table at the end of this notice.
