On November 1, 2024, the Patent Public Advisory Committee (PPAC) of the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) submitted its fiscal year 2024 annual report to the President of the United States, the Secretary of Commerce, and the Judiciary Committees of the Senate and House of Representatives. The committee submits the report each year to ensure that the nation’s system of patents and trademarks is on track to drive innovation and invention, and along with it, “increased global and national competitiveness, economic stability, and entrepreneurial growth,” the report says.
