New report on USPTO on 31 July 2015

A headline in the Washington Post of a story by Lisa Rein begins with
the hook that the patent office stresses
quantity over quality.

Not the first time such an allegation has been made,
but the story was about something else.
Mentioning quotas unchanged since 1976, the
article noted examiners have been given more time for
examination. This would seem to be
Quality over Quantity.
