The panelists will further discuss the controversial implementation of these decisions by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office and their impact.

On November 4, 2014, over 580 AALDEF volunteers surveyed 4,102 Asian American voters, in 11 Asian languages, at 64 poll sites in 38 cities in 11 states – Georgia, Louisiana, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Nevada, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Texas, Virginia – and Washington, DC about their voting encounters in the nation’s largest nonpartisan multilingual exit poll. The exit poll reveals vital information about Asian American voting patterns that is often overlooked in mainstream voter surveys.
At these presentations, comparative information will be given about the Asian American vote in the Gubernatorial and Congressional elections, concerns about key issues, first-time voters, and profiles of the Asian American vote by ethnicity, nativity, party enrollment, age, and English proficiency.
