Five organizations have extended their support to a small North Carolina law firm that is urging the U.S. Supreme Court to review a decision by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO). This decision mandates trademark applicants to disclose their home addresses, a requirement that, according to recent amicus briefs, should have been subject to public input. The briefs were submitted over the past week, highlighting concerns about the procedural validity and privacy implications of the USPTO’s rule.
More details on the case and the arguments brought forward by the supporting organizations can be found in the original article published by Law360.
