Odd new USPTO domain



by Stephen M. Nipper




Anyone have an idea what’s up with the http://des.uspto.gov page?  If you click on that link, you get this page:

Capture2-7-2007-9.49.20 AM

It also appears that there is an OED page:  http://des.uspto.gov/OEDCI/query.jsp and IP Newsflash’s links to BPAI decisions use a des.uspto.gov domain (with an interesting FOIA (Freedom of Information Act) subfolder) (i.e., http://des.uspto.gov/Foia/ReterivePdf?flNm=fd10548102-07-2007.pdf)

Perhaps this is part of the open application/peer review project?  [the comments are open]
