USPTO blocking access to activist groups and more
USPTO blocks web access to "Political/Activist Groups" including KEI,
ACLU, EFF, Public Citizen, Redstate, DailyKos
http://j.mp/S3fWzn (Keionline)
"We checked and found that the USPTO blocks access to a number of
groups that have followed SOPA and the TPP intellectual property
negotiations, particularly those critical of the USPTO positions on
intellectual property issues. Among the NGOs that were blocked were
aclu.org, cdt.org, citizen.org, eff.org, healthgap.org, keionline.org
and publicknowledge.org. Among the sites NOT BLOCKED were the industry
lobby groups BSA, MPPA, RIIA, and PhRMA."
