Director of Patent Office to Stay on Job with Trump Administration

U.S. Patent and Trademark Office Director Michelle Lee will remain as the agency's head into the Trump administration despite speculation that she would step down or be replaced. Lee staying on is considered a win for internet companies like Google — where Lee previously worked — that have fought for patent reform during the Obama administration.
