Not to be dense, but are you saying it's a pleasant surprise or that the USPTO shouldn't be doing this?
EDIT: For what it is worth, the USPTO has a mission statement at http://www.uspto.gov/web/menu/intro.html http://www.uspto.gov/web/menu/intro.html. This isn't clearly within their "mission" except to the extent that it "encourages investment in innovation and fosters entrepreneurial spirit".
- nostromo 15y agoSorry for the ambiguity... I think it's a waste of time and resources.
- apotheon 15y agoI think the USPTO tries to use stuff like this as a way to seem like the good guy, distracting from the way its half-assed approach to managing patents just completely screws so much of the US economy.
