PTO Would Remain Open During Government Shutdown

The PTO announced today it would be open for business as usual even if the rest of the federal government shuts down due to the budget stalemate.

That’s good news for trademark practitioners, who depend on the PTO to process applications for federal registration.

It’s also understandable — the PTO makes big bucks from those same trademark (and patent) practitioners, and shutting it down would cost taxpayers a lot more money than it would save.
