The Patent Public Advisory Committee (PPAC) thanks the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO), and, in particular, Under Secretary of Commerce and Director of the USPTO, Andrei Iancu, for his leadership, which has enabled the PPAC to interact more effectively, efficiently, and consistently with the employees of the USPTO throughout the past year. Indeed, the employees of the USPTO have provided extensive information and access allowing the committee members to better understand the complex issues facing the USPTO and permitting constructive discussions of options, constraints, and upcoming USPTO initiatives for our consideration and comment. The PPAC thanks management and the employees of the USPTO as well as the Patent Office Professional Association of the USPTO for their combined assistance, support, discussion, and commitment over the past year and for their ongoing efforts to improve the patent system both nationally and internationally. We look forward to our continuing work and interaction with the USPTO in the coming year.
