    The Executive Order 14148, titled Initial Rescissions of Harmful Executive Orders and Actions, was issued by the President to revoke numerous executive orders from the previous administration. These revocations aim to address what the current administration views as inflationary, illegal, and radical practices embedded within federal agencies. The Executive Order includes the termination of initiatives related to diversity, climate regulations, and various COVID-19 responses, among others. The goal is to restore practices that the administration deems will make the nation more united, fair, safe, and prosperous.

    The United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) has officially ended the Climate Change Mitigation Pilot Program. The program, which allowed for patent applications to be processed more quickly if they were related to climate change solutions, was suspended in January 2025 after the executive order that supported it was revoked. Any petitions to join the program submitted after this date will not be considered. The USPTO encourages patent applicants seeking expedited processing to apply through the Track One Program for prioritized examination.
