Attributable Ownership Public Hearing in San Francisco on March 26, 2014: Testimony and Written Comments Invited
The USPTO announces a public hearing on Wednesday, March 26, 2014 at U.C. Hastings College of Law in San Francisco from 9 a.m. until noon to receive feedback about proposed rules concerning the ownership of patents and applications (aka “attributable ownership proposed rules”). The public is invited to attend the hearing in person or via Webcast. Additionally, the public is invited to give testimony in person at the hearing and/or to submit written comments about the proposed rules.
To request to give testimony, please send an email to: aohearingrequest@uspto.gov. To submit written comments, please email: AC90.comments@uspto.gov.
The attributable ownership proposed rules require that the attributable owner, including the ultimate parent entity, be identified during the pendency of a patent application and at specified times during the life of a patent. The goal of the proposed rules is to increase the transparency of patent ownership rights.
