Download as PDF lotter on DSK11XQN23PROD with NOTICES1 21652 Federal Register / Vol. 88, No. 69 / Tuesday, April 11, 2023 / Notices Notwithstanding any other provision of law, no person is required to respond to, nor shall a person be subject to a penalty for failure to comply with, a collection of information subject to the requirements of the Paperwork Reduction Act unless that collection of information has a currently valid OMB control number. Judging Process: After the application period ends, independent judges from outside the USPTO will review, score, and return the applications and their evaluations to the USPTO. Judges will evaluate applications based on the judging criteria and selection factors described above. Each application will be reviewed by multiple judges separately, and each judge will review multiple applications. To encourage fair, open, and impartial evaluations, judges will perform their reviews independently, and the reviews will not be released to the public unless release is required by law. After awards have been made, however, applicants may request from the USPTO a copy of the judges’ evaluations for their application with the judges’ names redacted. Such copies will be sent to either the address on file with the application or another address verified as belonging to the applicant. After the USPTO receives the scored applications from the judges, the USPTO will then forward top-scoring applications to separate judges from participating federal agencies to recommend award recipients. The goal is to complete this recommendation process within 90 days of the close of the application period. After receiving recommendations from these judges, final decisions regarding award recipients will be made at the discretion of the Director of the USPTO. Final results may not be challenged for relief before the USPTO. The actual number of selected award recipients will depend on the number and quality of submissions. Once final decisions regarding award recipients have been made, the USPTO will notify the awardees and schedule a public awards ceremony. The USPTO will attempt to notify awardees four weeks before the ceremony date if circumstances permit. Selection of Judges: Judges will be selected by the USPTO. Candidates with the following qualifications will be preferred: • Recognized subject matter expertise in trademarks, economics, business, law, public policy, or a related field; • Demonstrated understanding of trademark commercialization, branding, and/or marketing; VerDate Sep<11>2014 17:45 Apr 10, 2023 Jkt 259001 • Demonstrated knowledge of humanitarian issues (specifically of humanitarian, environmental issues for the 2023 cycle), including the challenges presented by such issues; and • Experience analyzing the effectiveness of efforts to address humanitarian issues. Judges will be chosen to minimize conflicts of interest. A conflict of interest occurs when a judge: (a) has significant personal or financial interests in, or is an employee, officer, director, or agent of, any applicant participating in the competition; or (b) has a significant familial or financial relationship with an applicant who is participating. When conflicts of interest arise, conflicted judges must recuse themselves from evaluating the affected applications. Awards: Winners of the 2023 competition will receive recognition for their humanitarian efforts at a public awards ceremony with the Director of the USPTO and/or other executive branch official(s) and will be featured on the USPTO’s website.
