Letter to the
U.S. Patent and
Trademark Office: Way to Go!
 Dear
USPTO:
You've had a rash of good news lately. Within a few days we
learned that now, anyone can file an application
for a new invention using the Internet. You've expanded your
2 million patent Web
database to include every United States patent ever issued,
a total of more than 6.5 million patents. And finally, GovExec.com
named your Electronic Business Center one of the Best
Feds on the Web. What's next?
Sincerely,
Access America E-Gov E-Zine.

Warns Public About PPA
The
Food and Drug Administration is taking steps to remove phenylpropanolamine
(PPA) from drug products and has asked drug companies to discontinue
products with that ingredient. PPA, used in many over-the-counter
and prescription cough and cold medicines, has been linked to
a risk of hemorrhagic stroke. |
