2012/13 was the first year the Association operated under its new name: the Patent and Trademark Resource Center Association. The name was chosen by members to reflect the name change of the Patent and Trademark Depository Library Program to the Patent and Trademark Resource Centers Program. This also reflects the move away from simply collecting depository items and putting them on a shelf to a more interactive place where information can be found and utilized in many formats.
