For market research, information, and planning purposes only. The United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) is conducting market research via a Request for Information (RFI) to gauge the marketplace and learn the industry’s capabilities to support modernization of patent publications. The USPTO seeks to modernize the management of its patent publication data, obtain information on potential alternative data management solutions, and/or enhancement of the current proposed data management solution, and gather relevant feedback from industry that could shape the future of USPTO data management. The USPTO is currently modernizing its patent data management processes to make more data available during patent examination, as well as patent publication. The RFI and supporting slides are provided as attachments to this notice.
