Andrei Iancu’s departure last week marked the end of a turbulent three year-tenure at the US Trademark and Patent Office.
In his farewell address at a US Chamber of Commerce event, Iancu outlined his achievements, declaring that his tenure had delivered a “pro-innovation” culture.
“I said that we must reclaim our nation’s IP leadership and, to do so, we must focus on two high-level issues: first, creating a new, pro-innovation, pro-IP dialogue. And, second, balancing our systems and increasing the reliability of the patent grant. This is precisely what we have done,” he said.
