PRESS RELEASE
“I am delighted that President Bush has
expressed his intent to nominate Jon Dudas as Under Secretary
of Commerce for Intellectual Property and Director of the U.S.
Patent and Trademark Office. I have had the pleasure of working
closely with Jon for the past two years. During that time, he
has done an outstanding job as Deputy Director of the USPTO and
has demonstrated a commitment to a quality driven, highly
productive, cost-effective organization. Jon’s work at
the USPTO and his experience in intellectual property in the
private sector and on the Hill make him the ideal candidate to
carry forward the Administration’s commitment to economic
growth by producing the most timely and reliable intellectual
property protection for American innovators.”
