The new improved USPTO.gov
Finally, some indication of federal government efficiency: The United States Patent and Trademark Office now sports a newly designed web site, at USPTO.gov
According to the news release:
“The uspto.gov website is getting a new look and feel, starting with a new home page design that debuted on December 20, 2011. This new home page better presents the activities and services of the USPTO to the public, and is more accessible to our user community.
After examining feedback from website visitors and employees, looking at other websites within and outside the federal government, and by studying best practices in the field, a team at USPTO developed this new design as the entryway to uspto.gov.”
Indeed, the new design looks more modern and efficient and hopefully the search features are improved as well.
Serious domain investors rely on USPTO.gov heavily, to research domain registrations and acquisitions that do not clash with existing marks.
