Patent Information
Source: Library Journal
"U.S. Patent and Trademark Office Destroying Paper Files"
From the article, "Citing space concerns and maintenance issues, the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) has begun discarding paper copies from its collection of more than 6.3 million patents issued since the mid 19th-century, with a proposal on the table eventually to discard them all." "Meanwhile, although a notice in the Federal Register has asked for public comment on a proposal to discard the public�s patent collection, LJ has learned that a decision seems to already have been made. According to numerous sources, plans approved for the USPTO�s new home contain no space for a public collection of documents."
