The United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) is extending the deadline for public feedback on creating a national campaign to fight counterfeit and pirated products. The original call for comments was published on November 17, 2020, and sought insights from various groups, including those affected by counterfeit sales and public-private campaign experts. Through this notice, individuals have until March 12, 2021, to provide their input on developing strategies, education materials, and alerts to help consumers identify and avoid fake products. This extension aims to give more people the chance to share their thoughts and ideas.
Simple Explanation
The United States Patent and Trademark Office wants people to help think of ways to stop fake products. They are giving everyone more time to share their ideas, until March 12, 2021, so they can protect people from buying things that aren't real.
