US Patent Office holds nanotechnology customer partnership meeting
|
|
(Nanowerk News) Tomorrow, May 3, the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) will conduct a Nanotechnology Customer Partnership Meeting.
|
|
This Nanotechnology Customer Partnership initiative is designed and developed to be a forum to share ideas, experiences, and insights between individual users and the USPTO. The USPTO does not intend to use these customer partnership groups to arrive at a group consensus. Individual opinions are sought from varying participants, and the meetings are intended to be informal in nature. These customer partnership groups are formed with full recognition of the USPTO's responsibility under the Federal Advisory Committee Act (FACA), and are not established as FACA compliant committees.
