Guest blog by Deborah Stephens, Deputy Chief Information Officer, United States Patent and Trademark Office

My name is Debbie Stephens, and I am the Deputy Chief Information Officer for the USPTO. I have served at the USPTO for over 30 years in multiple leadership roles, during which I have worked to improve the automated tools and informational resources that facilitate electronic processing of patent applications. In my current role, I am the principal advisor to the Chief Information Officer and responsible for managing day-to-day Office of the Chief Information operations with significant oversight on information technology stabilization and modernization efforts.
