Patent and Trademark Office closed on Monday, December 21, 2009 due to snow storm
The Office of Personnel Management is reporting that all federal agencies in the Washington, D.C. area will be closed tomorrow, December 21. There is no reason to expect that this won’t apply to the Patent and Trademark Office.
Adjust your Christmas week work schedule accordingly.

RT @jmattbuchanan: #USPTO closed tomorrow due to snow – http://j.mp/8haD8I. Does that mean it is counted as a holiday for deadlines?

@rajivsarathy That’s up to Dir. Kappos. No word yet on whether this is a “postal service interruption or emergency” under 21(a). I Doubt it.
@jmattbuchanan It may, however, be a holiday under 1.7 and 1.9(h), at least for regulatory deadlines.
@rajivsarathy Here’s to clarity in the patent rules! EFS-Web sort of antiquates the whole premise of the rules anyways.
