In December the USPTO announced plans to open a satellite office in Detroit that will create new patent examiner jobs in an effort to reduce the patent backlog. See the Dec. 16, 2010 press release for more details.
The USPTO has now opened an email address, DetroitHiring@uspto.gov, for those seeking more information about job opportunities and the hiring process for the new office.
"The Detroit office – the first-ever USPTO regional office – is scheduled to open later this year, and the hiring of patent examiners is slated to begin in the spring. More than 100 new positions are expected to be filled within the office’s first year of opening."
