IAM talks to Q. Todd Dickinson

By Lawrence B. Ebert, Esq.

As you would expect, I asked him about suggestions that he might be appointed Director of the USPTO should Barak Obama come out on top in the November presidential election, but he played a very straight bat on that ? basically that he is completely focused on the AIPLA, that he has no idea what will happen and that there are a number of strong candidates for the post, whoever occupies the White House. Something that those who believe he is a shoe-in for the role if the Democrat candidate prevails might want to bear in mind, however, is that while Dickinson is now an active Obama supporter, he backed Hillary Clinton until she dropped out of the race.
