New USPTO Website (No Longer Beta!)

As we had earlier reported, the USPTO had been working on a beta version of a new USPTO web site.   Well, as of today, the new website has gone live. (See www.uspto.gov).   

According to the USPTO, the Office of the Chief Information Officer (OCIO) had been working to incorporate comments and feedback from internal and external users on the beta version, in order to make the website more user-friendly.  The website has also been organized based on tasks that visitors perform on a regular basis. 

Having used the beta version of the USPTO website a number of times, we agree that the new website offers a simpler and cleaner design, which should significantly improve navigation by visitors and functionality.   We applaud the USPTO for making these much-needed improvements.
