On Thursday, Senators on the Judiciary Committee warmed up for that other confirmation vote by unanimously approving the nomination of IBM Intellectual Property boss David Kappos to be the head of the Patent and Trademark Office.
The Wall Street Journal reports that Kappos has pledged to streamline the patent application process, improve the quality of granted patents, and crack down on piracy and counterfeiting. Kappos also inherits a 770,000 application backlog.
