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 been in the fortunate position of having personally observed much of the last four decades of senior USPTO staff and their effectiveness.
