USPTO Extends Deadline for Voluntary Best Practices Study

The USPTO recently requested comment from the public on the topic of "processes, data metrics, and methodologies that could be used to assess the effectiveness of cooperative agreements and other voluntary initiatives to reduce intellectual property infringement that occurs on-line—such as copyright piracy and trademark counterfeiting." See Prior Blog Post, White House Releases Second Joint Strategic Plan for IP Enforcement (June 20, 2013). The original deadline for comment was July 22, 2013.

On July 17, 2013, the USPTO extended the deadline until August 21, 2013.

Interested parties should respond to the current regulation (Fed. Reg. No. 2013-17166, see explanation in "Voluntary Best Practices Study; Extension of Comment Period") and include the information itemized in the original request (Fed. Reg. No. 2013-37210).
