Complaints Regarding Invention Promoters
The United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) has added rules of practice to implement the USPTO's procedures for acceptance of complaints under the Inventors' Rights Act of 1999 (the "Act"). The Act requires the USPTO to provide a forum for the publication of complaints concerning invention promoters. The USPTO provided the public with an opportunity to comment on the new rules, received comments, and considered comments in drafting this final rule.
