CSP Stakeholder Survey

The USPTO appreciates your participation in the Expanded Collaborative Search Pilot
Program (CSP). We hope you have found the program easy to use and that it has
been a useful tool with your international filing strategy.
As we continue to promote the benefits of work sharing with our stakeholders and
international partners, we are actively seeking feedback to enhance our efforts. As a
pilot participant, we would like to hear from you about your experience using CSP.
Your input is critical to help us further improve and potentially expand work-sharing
programs such as this with other IP offices. This survey is estimated to take less than
ten minutes to complete. We look forward to hearing from you.
A Federal agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to respond to, nor shall a person be
subject to a penalty for failure to comply with an information collection subject to the requirements of the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995, unless the information collection has a valid OMB Control Number. The OMB Control Number
for this information collection is 0651-0079. Public burden for this survey is estimated to average 5 minutes per
response, including the time for reviewing instructions, searching existing data sources, gathering and maintaining the
data needed, and completing and reviewing the information collection. Send comments regarding this burden estimate
or any other aspect of this information collection, including suggestions for reducing this burden to the Office of the
Chief Administrative Officer, United States Patent and Trademark Office, P.O. Box 1450, Alexandria, VA 22313-1450 or
email [email protected].
