Senate Judiciary Committee OKs Iancu as PTO Head

The Senate Judiciary Committee voted unanimously to approve Andrei Iancu as director of the Patent and Trademark Office Thursday. Chairman Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, said Iancu is “extremely knowledgeable about the intellectual property field” and will be a “responsible leader” based on his experience with a wide array of IP issues. President Donald Trump nominated Iancu a few months ago (see 1709060017 or 1709060026).
