US: Advanced Manufacturing & Industrial Technology Coalition – USPTO Patent Policy Changes Are Opposed by 90% of the US Private Sector

This report documents widespread US private sector opposition to a policy shift at the US Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO), which is now refusing to correct its own patent examination errors, despite a statutory obligation to make such corrections if USPTO finds a “reasonable likelihood” that an issued patent claim is invalid in conjunction with an Inter Partes Review (IPR) petition.
