New USPTO Web Site (Beta).
The USPTO has announced the beta test release of its new web site. According to the USPTO, the new site has been redesigned to improve the look and feel, as well as to enhance the user experience with improved navigation. The USPTO’s goal is to make the Web site technologically up-to-date, user-friendly, and responsive to customer feedback.
The beta version of the new USPTO website is available here. Any thoughts from our readers?
I like the new look website. It seems that the focus is now on relevant information for the public rather than primarily promoting press releases from the USPTO. I think the average lay person will be able to find relevant information much easier.
I agree. The new layout appears to be much more user-friendly. I especially like how the Search portals are clearly identified at the home page (i.e., no more advising clients to search for it over on the left margin of the page “somewhere”)!
I personally enjoy the new website.The focus is more relevant for the public other than for press releases. I think its easier for the average joe to navigate it.
