What Happened at the USPTO in 2024-and What's to Come
Briefly

The announcement of a new Director and their administration will significantly shape USPTO policies moving into 2025, especially with new appointments and proposed changes that may unfold.
As Director Vidal resigns, Deputy Director Derrick Brent will temporarily lead the USPTO until the Trump Administration names a successor, possibly reflecting continuity in Big Tech policies.
Recent backlash against proposed rule amendments, particularly concerning terminal disclaimers, signals a shift away from controversial rules under the upcoming administration, as evidenced by the withdrawal of certain proposals.
Anticipation builds for how the new Director's policies may diverge from or align with the previous administration's approach, especially towards technology and patent law.
