The White House just declared that the #USPTO, #ITC, and much of #NOA, as well as the Bureau of Reclamation are "have as a primary function intelligence, counterintelligence, investigative, or national security work" and therefore cannot have unions.

So great to hear that the #USPTO is now mandating a return to "in person" PTAB hearings. So, good news, everyone - now you have to get on a plane - that may or may not collide with another plane - to get to a hearing for a client that could have been easily done virtually. Because freedom, I guess.

1/4 #OnThisDay in 1836, the U.S. Patent Office in Washington, D.C., burned in what became known as the Great Patent Fire. The blaze destroyed all 9,957 patent records and roughly 7,000 patent models, wiping out much of the early U.S. patent archive.

1/3 On this day in 1743, Thomas Jefferson was born.

Just called the #USPTO regarding a patent application filed in February that has not been processed yet by pre-exam. The wait time for the Application Assistance Unit is 140 minutes. They close for the week in 52 minutes. I'm so glad that America is Great Again.

According to the #USPTO, there is no evidence that the number of #patents covering a #medicine affects the timing of #generic and #biosimilar entry.
