In the spotlight of the address will be the USPTO’s unwavering commitment to staying ahead of the technological curve. Leone Atchison will delve into the agency’s progressive strides towards accelerating its zero trust architecture, ridding itself of technological debt, and enhancing online services through modern identity management practices. By embracing innovative technologies, the USPTO is poised to enhance security, streamline processes, and elevate the quality of services provided to innovators across the nation.
