A new community engagement office that is part of the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office is opening in Utah and it’s a big deal. U.S. Senator John Curtis provided a statement following the announcement that the new office will be opened at the University of Utah. “Today’s announcement is an investment in American ingenuity and reinforces Utah’s leadership in research, technology, and entrepreneurship,” states Senator Curtis. “Utah is ranked among the fastest-growing innovation economies in the country and has always been a place where bold ideas take root and grow. The new community engagement office will help ensure that our innovators have the tools, resources, and federal partnership they need to compete and win in the global economy.” To put this in perspective, this new office will now serve 8 states, including Idaho, Montana, Wyoming, Colorado, North Dakota, South Dakota, Utah, and Nebraska.
