Hi Kathy,

I’m not sure extending the comment period will help much. Does anyone really expect the majority of people to wade through pages of Google forms to express an opinion?

I was going to comment on a couple of matters, including making sure IGOs have access to the TMCH but even though I have a reasonable working knowledge of the report I felt on balance it was too much of a time sink to comment substantively.

I did try to read the other comment submitted (which now seems to have disappeared) but I couldn’t even access any of the longer fields to read all the text. Also I didn’t have the time to waste looking up what each answer was in response to as the Google form only has recommendations and question numbers so I needed to cross reference everything.

All in all, pretty abysmal to be honest.

I am curious though if it is someone trying to over engineer comment periods or whether perhaps it’s more serious such as systemic bias leading to complete distain for any input that might be contrary to a predetermined outcome?

Best regards,


Paul

Hi All,

I hope you and your families, firms, organizations and schools are well and safe amidst the COVID19 challenges around the world. 

Our RPM WG comments are due a week from tomorrow (4/27).  This comes even as other comment and related deadlines are being extended (e.g., USPTO is allowing  documents "due between (and inclusive of) March 27, 2020, and April 30, 2020" to be considered timely if filed "within 30 days of the original due date").

How has COVID18 affected the companies and organizations we were hoping to reach with this comment period?  How should we be considering revising deadlines and other filing issues, if at all, in response to the crisis?

I would value your input greatly.  The RPM WG Leadership Team is meeting at 9am Eastern tomorrow (Mon) to discuss. 

Best regards,

Kathy Kleiman
