USPTO To Host AIA Roadshows
The United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) announced that it will host seven America Invents Act (AIA) roadshows across the country this fall to increase understanding of the First Inventor to File (FITF) provisions of the AIA. The public meetings, taking place between September 16 and October 19, 2014, will serve to broaden the public knowledge of the FITF provisions and further the understanding of the provision’s administrative processes to aid inventors and their representatives in the filing and prosecuting of patent applications under the FITF system. The meetings will take place in Concord, New Hampshire; Madison, Wisconsin; Dallas, Texas; Silicon Valley, California; and Atlanta, Georgia; as well as on USPTO campuses in Alexandria, Virginia and Denver, Colorado.
