Patents Customer Partnership Meetings

Patents Customer Partnership Meetings (CPM) provide a valuable opportunity for our external stakeholders to meet directly with United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) representatives in a collaborative forum. At these meetings, we share plans and operational efforts to better educate and inform our stakeholders. These meetings also enable the patent community to share ideas, experiences, and insights as well as discuss examination policies and procedures, mutual concerns, and solutions to common problems.
