Q. Todd Dickinson Resigns as Executive Director of AIPLA

After six years as AIPLA Executive Director, Q. Todd Dickinson has announced that he will step down. While he was an effective leader at AIPLA, Todd (the “Q” doesn’t stand for anything) made his mark as the first effective Director of the USPTO in some time, and many thought he would be a good choice to lead the Office a second time when Obama took office.
