Amendments
2011—Pub. L. 112–29, § 20(j), struck out “of this title” after “102(e)”.
Pub. L. 112–29, § 3(g)(3), which directed the striking out of “except as otherwise provided in section 102(e) of this title”, was executed by striking out “except as otherwise provided in section 102(e)” before period at end, to reflect the probable intent of Congress, because the words “of this title” did not appear subsequent to amendment by Pub. L. 112–29, § 20(j). See note above and Effective Date of 2011 Amendment notes below.
1984—Pub. L. 98–622 substituted “Patent and Trademark Office” for “Patent Office”.
