Jensen & Puntigam is proud to serve as part of the USPTO's external testing group for a video interview initiative. The goal of the program is to provide Examiners with a tool to enable remote interviews with video. It will allow Examiners and Applicants to share information and collaborate in real time. Jensen & Puntigam will participate in a virtual interview and provide feedback on the usability of the tool.
