San Jose has received a big prize from the federal government says the Mercury News this morning. The first-ever expansion of the U.S. Patent Office will be located in the heart of Silicon Valley. Of the 500,000 patents submitted each year, one-fourth come from California and one-third of those originate in Silicon Valley. Denver and Dallas will also receive branches.
