Extension of Comment Period for Request of the United States Patent and Trademark Office for Public Comments: Voluntary Best Practices Study

Samenvatting

The United States Patent and Trademark Office ("USPTO") is extending until August 21, 2013, the period for public comment regarding the processes, data metrics, and methodologies that could be used to assess the effectiveness of cooperative agreements and other voluntary initiatives to reduce intellectual property infringement that occurs on-line--such as copyright piracy and trademark counterfeiting. The USPTO is extending the public comment period to ensure stakeholders have adequate time to submit complete responses.
