In Bloomberg Law, Scott McKeown Examines Confirmation of New USPTO Director
IP litigation partner Scott McKeown (Washington, D.C.) was quoted in Bloomberg Law on the confirmation of the new U.S. Patent and Trademark Office director Kathi Vidal.
Scott notes that the PTO director will serve on a Precedential Opinion Panel where a set of agency leaders will review whether or not to undo appeal board decisions to institute review in a set of challenges that has become a “public relations nightmare for the PTAB.”
