Patent Quality Initiative

The Patent Quality Initiative is a program aimed at improving the quality of patents granted by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO). It focuses on ensuring that patents are thoroughly examined for their novelty and usefulness, helping to prevent low-quality or overly broad patents. By enhancing the examination process, the initiative seeks to support innovation and protect genuine inventors while reducing legal disputes over patent rights. Ultimately, it aims to create a more reliable patent system that benefits inventors, businesses, and the public by promoting fair competition and technological advancement.
