PTO Web Chat Snafu
Today's
intra-patent office news: "Because of technical difficulties with our software
program, today's web chat on telecommuting programs with Under Secretary Dudas
was suspended." Over 300 people had logged in for today's chat.
As reported by an anonymous patent office worker: "Dudas planned an online discussion to talk about the new telecommuting/hoteling program at the PTO. However, one has to wonder when a program designed to allow examiners to work online hundreds of miles away from the office is being sponsored by an agency that cannot manage an online discussion between five different office buildings on the same block."
