The US Patent and Trademark office is asking for comments and/or testimony on the subject of prior art.

"the USPTO is interested in obtaining public opinion as to whether patent examiners are identifying and applying the most pertinent prior art during the examination of a patent application, and if not, how the USPTO may be equipped to do so."

They're taking testimony in San Francisco on June 28th, and in Arlington, VA on July 14th. Written comments can be submitted until August 2nd.
