The US Patent and Trademark<\/a> Office (USPTO) is rebranding its nationwide network of Patent and Trademark Depository Libraries.<\/p>\n

Starting October 1, 2011, these will become known as Patent and Trademark Resource Centers (PTRCs).<\/p>\n

The name change signifies a major shift in focus from the ‘paper depository’ concept to an expansion of access to electronic information and specialized training.<\/p>\n

USPTO is attempting to meet the needs of 21st Century patent and trademark customers more effectively by maximizing the use of online resources.<\/p>\n

PTRC designated libraries can currently be found in 46 states, providing assistance to inventors, intellectual property attorneys, agents, businesspeople, researchers, entrepreneurs, students and historians.<\/p>\n

“PTRCs serve as the face of the USPTO in local communities and promote a culture of innovation and entrepreneurship,” said USPTO director David Kappos.<\/p>\n

This ensures potential filers have the local resources necessary to draw on for support as they begin their quest for commercial success with their intellectual property, he added.<\/p>\n

At the PTRCs, USPTO-trained librarians provide customer assistance on the use of patent and trademark databases.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
