The Unleashing American Innovators Act: Promoting inclusive innovation under the new law
Blog by Kathi Vidal, Under Secretary of Commerce for Intellectual Property and Director of the USPTO
 Since I took the helm of the USPTO in April of 2022, the USPTO has been working feverishly to unleash America’s potential. We immediately expanded our pro bono efforts, focused on outreach and impact, and are working on ways to better support those new to the innovation ecosystem. We are guided by the vision that by quadrupling the number of U.S. inventors, we can expand our economy, and GDP, by $1 trillion. We can create more and better jobs in more communities and give every American the opportunity, tools, and support to pursue the American dream.
With the support of Congress and President Biden, and the Senator Patrick Leahy-led Unleashing American Innovators Act of 2022, signed into law as part of the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2023 on December 29, now is the moment to make lasting, sustainable change.
