With reports of between 6 and 11 inches of snow having fallen in parts of Maryland and Northern Virginia, the U.S. Office of Personnel Management (OPM) announced a closure for Monday, January 14, 2019, of Federal offices in the Washington, DC area. The OPM also announced that emergency employees and telework employees, however, would continue to work on Monday. The OPM noted that the announcement also did not apply to furloughed employees impacted by the lapse in appropriations, as they are already in a non-work status. The USPTO has not yet posted a notice on the Office's Operational Status webpage regarding the impact of the closure of Federal offices. Patent Docs will provide an update as soon as the USPTO does post a notice.
