Earlier today the United States Senate confirmed Michelle Lee to head the United States Patent and Trademark Office, a position that has been vacant since the resignation of David Kappos at the end of January 2013. Lee’s official title will be Under Secretary of Commerce for Intellectual Property and Director of the United States Patent and Trademark Office, which is the second longest title in Washington. The only longer title is her previous position as Deputy Director, which is identical to her new title except for using the word “deputy” twice.
