At 12:01pm on Monday, January 20, 2025, a moment after President Donald J. Trump took the oath of office to start his second term as President, Coke Morgan Stewart was sworn in as the new Deputy Undersecretary of Commerce for Intellectual Property and Deputy Director of the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO). Because she has been named as Deputy Undersecretary and Deputy Director, Stewart will immediately begin serving as Acting Undersecretary and Acting Director of the USPTO.
