to provide feedback on program
effectiveness, service, facilities, teaching
practices, and processes immediately
after completing the GIPA training

one year after completing the GIPA
training programs.

collected from the surveys to evaluate
the percentage of foreign officials
trained by GIPA who have initiated or
implemented a positive intellectual
property change in their organization
and to evaluate the percentage of foreign
officials trained by GIPA who increased
their expertise in intellectual property.
The data will also be used to evaluate
the satisfaction of the participants with
the intellectual property program and
the value of the experience as it relates
to future job performance. The USPTO
also uses the survey data to meet
organizational performance and
accountability goals.
