USPTO examiner initiatives and improvements in 2010

Hi I’m Chris Maier. Today I’d like to talk to you about some of the new improvements and efficiency that are going on at the US patent & Trademark Office. Commissioner Campos has implemented several new strategies for the examiners that will help both attorneys, clients, and examiners in doing their job. Some of these include:  examiner initiated interviews and the streamlining of patent examination. We believe that these are going to result in significant cost savings and time savings for all parties involved in patent prosecution. Thank you very much, I’m Chris Maier.
