Procurement List Proposed Additions and Deletions, 16145-16146 [2016-06826]

Download as PDF Federal Register / Vol. 81, No. 58 / Friday, March 25, 2016 / Notices core metrics: A work product metric representing correctness of actions, and a clarity metric that more thoroughly explores the sufficiency of the examiner’s reasoning in an Office action, thus moving away from the prior goal-based quality ‘‘score’’ that reflected not only quality of work product but also results of surveys, used to discover both internal and external stakeholder opinions, and QIR process indicators? Which of the proposed clarity and correctness review items in the proposed standardized ‘‘Master Review Form,’’ available at https://www.uspto. gov/patentquality, should be used as the key drivers of patent examination quality metrics? (2) How can patent metrics best provide objective, rather than subjective, measurements of qualityrelated features in clarity and correctness reviews? In addition to the three questions posed above, the USPTO welcomes comments on any and all areas of quality measurement. Suggestions for rephrased or additional quality metrics review items, especially clarity indicators, are welcomed. The USPTO will consider all submitted comments as it develops the next iteration of quality metrics. For the most current information on this and other patent quality initiatives, please visit the Enhanced Patent Quality Initiative micro site at https://www. uspto.gov/patentquality. Dated: March 22, 2016. Michelle K. Lee, Under Secretary of Commerce for Intellectual Property and Director of the United States Patent and Trademark Office.
