Dear Howard Lutnick [the Trump Nominee for Commerce Secretary]: In this busy transition season from one administration to the next, I am here to help! Lucky you! I have already penned an open letter to [the Department of Government Efficiency] DOGE regarding patents and America. I understand you are now interviewing candidates for the job of Director of the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO). I have been in the fortunate position of having personally observed much of the last four decades of senior USPTO staff and their effectiveness.
