this information collection, depending
on the complexity of the submission.
This includes the time to gather the
necessary information, prepare the
appropriate briefs, petition, and other
papers, and submit the completed items
to the USPTO.
Estimated Total Annual Respondent
Burden Hours: 188 hours.
Estimated Total Annual Non-Hour
Cost Burden: $0.
Needs and Uses: The USPTO surveys
international and domestic participants
of the USPTO’s GIPA training programs
to obtain feedback from the participants
on the effectiveness of the various
services provided to them in the
training programs. GIPA was established
in 2006 to offer training programs on the
enforcement of intellectual property
rights, patents, trademarks, and
copyright.
The training programs offered by
GIPA are designed to meet the specific
needs of foreign government officials
(including judges; prosecutors; police;
customs officials; patent, trademark, and
copyright officials; and policymakers)
concerning various intellectual property
topics, such as global intellectual
property rights protection, enforcement,
and strategies to handle the protection
and enforcement issues in their
respective countries.
This information collection contains
three surveys directed to separate
audiences: Overseas-program
participants, post-program participants,
and alumni. The Overseas-Program
Survey is designed for international
participants at the conclusion of the
GIPA training program conducted
overseas. This survey replaces the
existing Pre-Program Survey and is a
shortened version of the Post-Program
Survey. The Post-Program Survey is
used to analyze the overall effectiveness
of the program and is conducted at the
conclusion of training programs held at
U.S. locations. The Alumni Survey is
used to determine the benefit of the
GIPA training program for the future job
performance of the participant. The data
obtained from these three surveys will
be used to evaluate the percentage of
foreign officials trained by GIPA who
have increased their expertise in
intellectual property, enhanced their
professional abilities and future job
performance, and developed their own
nation’s intellectual property program.
All the surveys have updated questions
and answer options.
Affected Public: Federal Government
(Foreign Government).
Frequency: On occasion.
Respondent’s Obligation: Voluntary.
