On May 25, 2022, the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) fully reopened all locations to employees and resumed some in-person events and appointments for the public. Visitors should review this health questionnaire prior to entering and may not enter facilities if they answer "yes" to any of the questions. 

We continue to monitor local conditions for all locations as determined by the Center for Disease Control’s (CDC) COVID-19 community levels. Levels can be low, medium, or high. In communities with low or medium transmission levels, wearing a mask in our buildings is optional. In communities with high transmission levels, wearing a mask in our buildings is mandatory. Please check the CDC’s levels and our office location pages for details, including which services are now being provided in-person as well as virtually. 

Office locations: 

• Alexandria, VA (USPTO headquarters, including East Coast outreach office) 
• Dallas, Texas 
• Denver, Colorado 
• Detroit, Michigan 
• San Jose, California
