I would also be curious to hear what people think about the fact the
Federal Circuit said that the PTO does not have to go through notice
and comment for this type of change, they can just impose it without
any review at all.<br>

style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">I have
read this decision and am curious what others think of the
reasoning. I find the last part of the decision (page 13)
particularly perplexing. Isn’t it circular to say that an
agency doesn’t have to prepare for every eventuality,
especially when there is nothing in the record about privacy
concerns, when there wasn’t a reason for people to be
concerned about privacy during the notice and comment
period? And anyway how is this change not a substantive
rule that affects individual rights and obligations when it
affects individuals’ privacy rights?<o:p></o:p></span></p>
