Други основни елементи в плана са:
- Working with stakeholders to refine long-term pendency goals that will meet the needs of both the office and the IP community.
- Increasing efficiencies and examination capacity to align with optimal pendency goals, such as hiring/retaining a nationwide workforce.
- Increasing international cooperation and work sharing, such as implementing Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) and the Global Dossier.
- Continuing to enhance patent quality by evaluating and refining the measurement of quality data, and maximizing its usage to improve the quality of patent and trademark examination.
- Ensuring optimal IT service delivery to both employees and stakeholders, for example, by stabilizing legacy systems.
- Continuing and enhancing stakeholder and public outreach to promote the availability of educational resources for applicants and other users; e.g., the patent pro bono program and partnerships.
- Maintaining the Patent Trial and Appeal Board’s (PTAB) ability to provide timely and high quality decisions by defining optimal pendencies for PTAB proceedings, and ensuring consistency in PTAB decisions.
