USPTO - Changes to Representation of Others Before the United States Patent and Trademark Office

The USPTO published: Changes to Representation of Others Before the United States Patent and Trademark Office on May 26, 2021. 

The USPTO states the change "aligns the USPTO Rules of Professional Conduct more closely with the American Bar Association (ABA) Model Rules of Professional Conduct. It also improves clarity in existing regulations to facilitate the public's compliance, including revising various deadlines, the procedures concerning the registration exam, provisions related to the revocation of an individual's registration or limited recognition in limited circumstances, and provisions for reinstatement. It makes non-substantive changes to improve the readability of various provisions as well."
