What better way to wrap up 2024 than a conversation around the future of the USPTO with David Boundy.
David is one of the sharpest minds at the intersection of administrative law and intellectual property. Plus, during his tenure at Cantor Fitzgerald, David worked closely with its visionary CEO, Howard Lutnick, who is leading Trump’s transition team and Trump’s pick for Commerce Secretary.
This episode includes David’s thoughts on:
* Why the next USPTO Director should prioritize examination quality, efficiency, and public interest-driven rule-making.
* Advocating for administrative practices that serve innovators better rather than prioritizing bureaucratic processes.
* His time at Cantor Fitzgerald and what it’s like to work with Howard Lutnick.
* Where he gets his personal passion for justice and belief in the patent system as a crucial engine for innovation and economic success.
