Join us at the Silicon Valley USPTO office in San Jose to view the Patent Quality Chat webinar simulcast from USPTO headquarters. This month's chat topic is "How Can the Patents Ombudsman and Pro Se Assistance Programs Work for You?" with Mindy Bickel, Associate Commissioner for Innovation Development, and Cassandra Downs, Management/Program Analyst, Patents Ombudsman Program. You will have an opportunity to ask our speakers questions about our patent quality metrics as well as give us your feedback. (via patentquality@uspto.gov).
Join the chat to discuss your experiences. Enhancing the quality of our work products is a part of USPTO’s continuous quality improvement efforts in partnership with our stakeholders.
After the webinar, a Silicon Valley USPTO resource supervisory patent examiner will lead a discussion.
The content of this event is for someone with intermediate to advanced knowledge of the patent system.
