With its new leadership corps, the USPTO is moving forward with a number of initiatives to address the concerns of patent holders, businesses, and the public.
A major project launched last fall is the anti-counterfeit program StopFakes! (www.stopfakes.gov). Now, the PTO has created a small business focused initiative to “help small business owners protect their intellectual property from overseas piracy and counterfeiting. Information on the new small business initiative is available online here: www.uspto.gov/smallbusiness.
