USPTO Completes Move to New Headquarters

WASHINGTON, D.C. --The U.S. Department of Commerce’s United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) today announced completion of its move to new, consolidated headquarters in Alexandria, VA, which involved relocating over 7,000 employees and contractors. The consolidation from 18 buildings in Crystal City, VA, is expected to save the federal government more than $98 million over the 20-year term of the lease.

The USPTO’s new 2.4 million sq. ft. facility includes five interconnected buildings, designed in a “U” shape configuration to form a campus-like setting.

The USPTO headquarters also includes four companion office buildings and two parking structures, each with a facade of townhouse offices.
