Statement By Commerce Secretary Donald L. Evans On President’s Intent To Nominate Jon Dudas As Under Secretary For Intellectual Property And Director Of The U.S. Patent And Trademark Office

“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.”

Did You Know?

There is a time limit on patent protection.
For applications filed on or after June 8, 1995, utility and plant patents are granted for a term which begins with the date of the grant and usually ends 20 years from the date you first applied for the patent subject to the payment of appropriate maintenance fees. Design patents last 14 years from the date you are granted the patent. Note: Patents in force on June 8 and patents issued thereafter on applications filed prior to June 8, 1995 automatically have a term that is the greater of the twenty year term discussed above or seventeen years from the patent grant.
