IN THE NEWS | Brent Babcock Featured in World IP Review WIPR - World IP Review recently featured commentary from Partner Brent Babcock on the confirmation of John Squires as the new director of the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office. In the article, which gathered reactions from IP experts, Brent noted that Director Squires’ extensive background should provide a “steady and knowledgeable hand” at the agency’s helm. He added that he expects the new director will bring a "balanced, pro-innovation perspective" and a "practical understanding of the varied viewpoints of all USPTO stakeholders". #USPTO #IPLaw #PatentLaw #Innovation #PTAB

"All eyes on Squires: What IP experts want from the new USPTO director" "As John Squires is confirmed as the US Patent and Trademark Office 's new director, Sarah Speight gathers reaction, and asks: what would you ask the US’ chief IP executive?" "Julie Burke, founder, IP Quality Pro: ‘Squires will strongly align with acting director Stewart’s positions in IPRs and the PTAB’ “I believe that Squires will not only strongly align with acting director Stewart’s positions on reining in IPRs and eviscerating the Trial portion of the PTAB, but he will also take dramatic steps further, perhaps even revisiting prior IPR decisions which retroactively cancelled patents. “The biggest challenges facing Squires are: Inside the USPTO, a huge backlog, low examiner morale, a return to office mandates threatening increased attrition, difficulties in hiring new examiners and quality concerns. He will likely feel pressure to abide by the new administration’s desire for a new fee structure—the controversial 1-5% tax, which is wildly unpopular and perhaps even unconstitutional. Sharp persistent divisions in the stakeholder community making it hard for Congress to enact pro-innovation legislation. [For example] Big tech versus pharma versus the anti-drug patent lobby versus small businesses and independent inventors. Prosecutors versus litigators. US national security interests versus China’s huge and growing IP presence.” also quoted: Brent Babcock and Kristen Osenga USPTO John A Squires #patent #PTAB #quality WIPR - World IP Review Sarah Speight #China #IP https://lnkd.in/gYS8TRdh
