Further, IPO believes the standards for establishing the defense of inequitable conduct should be raised, not lowered or remain the same, in order to improve patent quality and the interaction between examiners and applicants. The addition of a submission requirement would only heighten the need for such reform. Further, IPO believes that an Applicant Quality Submission requirement is not necessary or good policy, and reiterates that ALL applicants must be equally subject to the substantive PTO rules.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RESOLVED, That IPO does not support the Applicant Quality Submission  [&#8230;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":6119,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-25276","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-board_resolutions"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.4 -
