Below is the Strategic Goal 3 measure for which enough data is available to establish performance trends. The following measure has insufficient data for trend calculation: Percentage of foreign officials trained who have initiated or implemented a positive change in the IP systems in their organizations and/or countries.
Strategic Goal 3: Provide Domestic and Global Leadership to Improve Intellectual Property Policy, Protection and Enforcement Worldwide The USPTO develops and advances domestic and international U.S. IP policy objectives that include the establishment of strong and balanced IP systems to serve the needs of all stakeholders. The USPTO develops IP policy through information gathering and analysis and stakeholder consultations. Stakeholders include domestic and foreign IP rights holders and users, consumers, U.S. government agencies, foreign governments, and the public at large. The USPTO furthers IP policy goals through training foreign officials, providing domestic and international educational outreach, launching strategic cooperation projects between national IP offices, deploying IP Attachés to critical regions of the world, and advising on the IP aspects of U.S. trade efforts, including participation in the current Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) negotiations. OBJECTIVE 1: Provide domestic leadership on IP policy issues Provide Evidence on the Economic Impacts of IP Protection On April 11, 2012, the Secretary of Commerce released a report titled “Intellectual Property in the U.S. Economy: Industries in Focus” co-authored by the USPTO and the Economics and Statistics Administration. The report details how U.S. companies in our most competitive industries are using patents and copyright to protect their innovations, and trademarks to distinguish their goods and services from those of competitors. The report identifies the 75 American industries most intensively using IP protections, and uses statistical data from across the U.S. government to examine both the important trends and economic characteristics of these highly IP-intensive industries. There are several important findings contained in the report, including: MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS Tina M. Tchen, Executive Director of the White House Council on Women and Girls, Director of the White House Office of Public Engagement speaks at the Woman Entrepreneurship event at USPTO headquarters on March 1, 2012.
