"Commerce Under Secretary for Intellectual Property Rogan To
Unveil USPTO Restructuring Proposal

Monday June 3, 2002 10:00 a.m. (Press Conference Call)

Under Secretary of Commerce for Intellectual Property, James
Rogan, will unveil his strategic plan to transform the USPTO
into a quality-driven, highly productive, cost-effective
organization, supporting an international market-based
intellectual property system. The plan emphasizes excellence
in examiner recruiting, hiring and training; greater use of
electronic initiatives and outside resources to process
patents and trademarks; and a faster, less costly
alternative to the courts for challenging patents, which are
strategies that reflect the values of the President's
Management Agenda.

Under Secretary Rogan will take questions after his
presentation."

This looks a lot like kite flying for competition...
