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?

A patent protects your invention.
A patent for an invention is a grant of property rights by the U.S. Government through the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office. The patent grant excludes others from making, using, or selling the invention in the United States. The terms "Patent Pending" and "Patent Applied For" are used to inform the public that an application for a patent has been filed. Patent protection does not start until the actual grant of a patent. Marking of an article as patented, when it is not, is illegal and subject to penalty.
