Our vision of leading the Nation and the world in intellectual property begins by achieving world-class patent and trademark systems to serve our country and the global economy. The USPTO 2018-2022 Strategic Plan recognizes the role a strong IP system plays in helping to expand the economy and increase job creation through (a) the issuance of reliable patents with clear boundaries of protection and optimized patent examination pendency and (b) the issuance in a timely manner of high-quality trademark registrations. As a world leader in shaping IP protection, the USPTO serves as an operational benchmark and strives to make America’s IP system the gold standard around the world.

As we continue to implement our Strategic Plan for 2018-2022, we remain focused on our mission to fostering innovation, competitiveness and job growth in the United States by conducting high quality and timely patent and trademark examination and review proceedings in order to produce reliable and predictable intellectual property rights; guiding intellectual property policy, and improving intellectual property rights protection; and delivering intellectual property information and education worldwide.
