USPTO Council on Expanding Innovation Gets Mixed Reactions

The U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) earlier this week announced the creation of the National Council for Expanding American Innovation (NCEAI), an initiative ostensibly intended to “build a more diverse and inclusive innovation ecosystem by encouraging participation demographically, geographically, and economically.” Reactions to the Council were mixed, with a number of IPWatchdog sources contacting us to alternately express their confusion, skepticism or support. We put out a call for official reactions to share these varying responses, which raise a number of questions to be monitored as the NCEAI moves forward.
