The United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) and the Association of University Technology Managers (AUTM) recently announced the launch of a new training initiative for patent examiners. The USPTO/AUTM Patent Examiners Training Initiative aims to improve the strength and quality of U.S. patents through specialized training between patent examiners, innovators, and scientists.
Through the USPTO/AUTM Patent Examiners Training Initiative, AUTM members working in university technology transfer offices will identify key faculty members to participate in specialized training programs for patent examiners. The initiative will enhance USPTO’s existing Patent Examiner Technical Training Program (PETTP) by providing patent examiners with additional training opportunities from scientists and experts across various technology sectors.
