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.
