PRA Burden Statement for Global Intellectual Property Academy Alumni Survey

PRA Burden Statement
Global Intellectual Property Academy Alumni Survey
Under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, persons are not required to respond to a collection
of information unless it displays a valid OMB Control Number. This survey will collect
feedback from participants of GIPA’s training programs on program effectiveness approximately
one year after completing the training program. The USPTO will use the data collected from the
survey to evaluate the (1) percentage of foreign officials trained by GIPA who have initiated or
implemented a positive intellectual property change in their organization; (2) the percentage of
foreign officials trained by GIPA who increased their expertise in intellectual property; (3) the
satisfaction of the intellectual property program; and (4) the value of the experience as it relates
to future job performance. The USPTO will also use the data for performance measures. This
collection of information is voluntary in accordance with E.O. 12862, Setting Customer Service
Standards. All data collected from this survey will be confidential. Only the aggregated data
and the frequency of the responses will be reported, not the individual responses or comments
about the survey. The USPTO estimates that it takes respondents approximately 15 minutes
(0.25 hours) to complete the survey, including the time to gather the information, complete the
survey, and submit it electronically to the USPTO. The time may vary depending upon the
circumstances of the individual respondent. If you have any comments or recommendations for
reducing the length of this survey or on other aspects of this information collection, please send
them to the United States Patent and Trademark Office, U.S. Department of Commerce, P.O.
Box 1450, Alexandria, VA 22313-1450.
