New Site Examines PTO Examiners
The Patently-O blog points out the launch of USPTOExaminers.com, a Web site designed for professionals to anonymously review, rank, and learn about a patent examiner or a trademark examining attorney who works at the Patent and Trademark Office. Law firms are also reviewed on the site, whose motto is: "We Examine the Examiners."
The site's owners are anonymous and the individuals who make comments about particular examiners are also kept secret, but pointed, the blog states. Here's an example: "The work I have reviewed from him plainly indicates his incompetence. I have had to appeal every case where he was the examiner… I think he falls into some kind of job protected category. That is the only reason I can think of why he has not been fired."
Patently-O also published a Q&A with the site's creators.
