The USPTO Sets Up Two Additional Pro Bono Assistance Programs in California and D.C.
Upon the passage of the America Invents Act (“AIA”) and in an effort to help individuals and corporations who are unable to afford legal advice relating to intellectual property, the USPTO has recently announced two additional pro bono assistance programs in California and the District of Columbia. With the addition of these two programs, the USPTO has created four intellectual property pro bono programs across the United States and is forecasting an additional ten by the end of 2013.
