### 26915 Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 90 / Monday, May 11, 2015 / Notices

day ‘‘Quality Summit’’ with the public to discuss the outlined proposals, which was held on March 25 and 26, 2015, at the USPTO headquarters in Alexandria, Virginia.

In view of the substantial public interest in this initiative, the number and complexity of the issues involved, and requests from the public for an extension of the time to submit comments, the USPTO is now extending the period for submission of public comments until May 20, 2015.

Members of the public are invited to submit written comments that address the proposals outlined in the February 5, 2015, Federal Register Notice or that provide input on other programs or initiatives not reflected in the proposals that the public believes may enhance patent quality. Based upon the stakeholder feedback received, the USPTO plans to refine the proposals as needed and to continue its engagement with the public about these proposals through a series of additional events. Through such continued engagement with the public, the USPTO can take the correct next steps in its continued efforts toward enhancing patent quality.

Dated: May 5, 2015. Michelle K. Lee, Under Secretary of Commerce for Intellectual Property and Director of the United States Patent and Trademark Office.
