USPTO Launches Twitter Account

By Donald Zuhn --

Last week, the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office announced the official launch of its Twitter account.  The USPTO can now be followed at www.twitter.com/uspto.  The Office, which launched a Facebook page in August (see "USPTO Launches Facebook Page"), expects to provide brief, daily updates through its Twitter account.  Director Kappos noted that by communicating through Twitter, the Office could be even more nimble and effective in quickly conveying news and information to the public.

With the launch of the USPTO Twitter account, Patent Docs would like to take the opportunity to remind its readers that Patent Docs can be followed at www.twitter.com/PatentDocs.  The Patent Docs Twitter account is generally used for breaking news, such as the Supreme Court's decision in Bilski v. Kappos last June.

Kappos is continuing his assiduous efforts to engage with the public. This, as much as the programs and other changes he has implemented, has gone a long way toward enhancing his own reputation and improving the public's perception of patent law.
