The USPTO has welcomed John Squires as the new Under Secretary of Commerce for Intellectual Property and Director of the USPTO. In this role, he will work with colleagues to help shape intellectual property policy, foster innovation, and strengthen U.S. competitiveness on the global stage.
As a long-time practitioner and strong supporter of the patent system, Mr. Squires experience and perspective will impact the USPTO in ways that we hope will better support inventors, businesses, and all who rely on the patent and trademark system.
McCoy Russell continues to stay on top of shifts and policy changes at the USPTO to help innovators, businesses, and brands secure strong protection for their ideas and position themselves for success.
