Let's publicize who the actual people reviewing the patents are, some personal accountability for the patents someone issues or approves could be powerful. I'd like to understand the KPI's of the PTO, are there patent agents issuing patents faster than possible? Robo signing? Are there incentives for an agent to issue more patents to keep organization wide throughput high? Where can I get Open Data related to the PTO?
