Paranoia

En I/P Updates se refiere la historia de un examinador de la USPTO que denuncio la presunta corrupción de algunos compañeros y que fue finalmente expedientado.

According to Jack v. Dept. of Commerce (Fed. Cir., April 11, 2005), in February 2000, he alleged to the Federal Bureau of Investigation that he had been approached by other employees of the PTO who proposed that he join them in a scheme to sell patents and perform patent searches for persons outside the PTO for cash payments. In February 2001, Mr. Jack made the same allegations to a congressional office. In addition, he alleged that two PTO employees had accessed his e-mail, bank, and credit accounts. In April and May 2001, Mr. Jack informed the Identity Theft Division of the United States Secret Service that one of those employees had changed his ATM access code, and that another had switched the contact phone number associated with his bank account to that employee’s cell phone number.
