U.S. Patent and Trademark Office Launches Official Facebook Page
The United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) recently launched an official page on Facebook, which can be found at www.facebook.com/uspto.gov. David Kappos, the USPTO’s director, stated that he is “confident [the USPTO’s] Facebook presence will complement the USPTO Web site as a means of communicating and connecting with the public and [with the USPTO’s] stakeholders in the intellectual property community. With more than 400 million people on Facebook, [the USPTO] knew it was an important place for [it] to be.”
A recent press release noted that the USPTO’s Facebook page would not replace the USPTO web site as the source for official information. The Facebook page is intended to provide real-time information about a range of issues related to the USPTO and will include press releases, posts from Director Kappos’s blog, event information, photos and video. The agency’s Facebook presence will allow Facebook users the opportunity to discuss, comment on, and offer feedback on USPTO announcements. The page was created with the intention of further engaging the public and the intellectual property community.
