Patent and Trademark Office — the long-form archive

coverage from 2026-08-11

What that date means

Coverage begins on 2026-08-11, which is when this archive started holding Federal Register issues — not when the agency started publishing.

Everything on this page is also a tool call. Add mcp.downstream.sh as an MCP server in Claude, ChatGPT, or any client that speaks the protocol — no key, no account — then paste this:

Using the Downstream MCP server at mcp.downstream.sh, call whats_new_since with agency "Patent and Trademark Office" since 2026-08-11, then tell me what this agency has been working on and which of its deadlines are still open.

Reaches whats_new_since. The response carries its own citations and states what it is missing — including which dates it has no record for.
