USPTO Elijah J. McCoy Detroit Office Grand Opening Gala.
JW Note: Attended the USPTO Elijah J. McCoy Detroit Office Grand Opening Gala yesterday evening at the Henry Ford Museum in Dearborn, MI. Met a number of new Patent Examiners and Administrative Patent Judges (APJs). Excited to have a satellite patent office located nearby! This is a great opportunity for Detroit and the surrounding region.
Flawed though it may be, nevertheless the AIA will have helped make possible the opening of four new patent offices; therefore, despite certain other, regrettable provisions, I must applaud the patent reform bill in this respect.

Today is the 5th Anniversary of the Elijah J. McCoy Midwest Regional Patent Office. Seems like the gala was only yesterday!
