**Post Card Printing Statement of Work**

The United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) requires services
to transfer electronic data sent by the USPTO over the Internet into
hardcopy documents that are addressed to our customers and mailed
through the US Postal Service (USPS), taking advantage of every
available mailing incentive offered by the USPS. The USPTO is moving
towards a 100% paperless operation. In pursuit of our paperless goal,
the electronic-to-print services (described below) will be replacing
postcard notifications with email notifications to its mail recipients
(i.e., customers) in the future. Initiatives to support that goal are
underway and it is expected that beginning in July 2007, the volume of
data that must be printed (i.e., the services described below) will
begin to diminish.

**[Formatting Requirements]{.underline}**: Data must be accepted using
HTTPS to connect to the mailing online system, data in XML format are
submitted to the mailing online system via SOAP API.

**[Destination Addresses]{.underline}**: Addresses are both domestic and
international. The vast majority of Trademarks mailing are domestic.
Patents mailings could be domestic or international.

**[Cycle Time]{.underline}**: Daily, Monday through Friday. Data
received from the USPTO must be mailed to addressees within one business
day.

**[Reporting Required]{.underline}**: On a monthly basis and correlating
to the billing period, the USPTO requires a report of daily activity by
date of

-   Count of mailings, by type

-   Postage amount

-   Other costs, with explanation

-   Daily subtotals of each

-   Monthly and contract-to-date summaries

The report should accompany each invoice.

**[Invoicing]{.underline}**: The monthly invoices must clearly indicate
the contract period of performance and the per item price as negotiated
in the contract. The per item price must correlate directly with the
costs in the report.

**[Quality]{.underline}**: 100% of all notices in data transmitted by
the USPTO must be mailed within one business day of receipt.

The contractor must employ sufficient quality control measures to ensure
no corruption of the data on printed postcards. The USPTO has a zero
tolerance for printing errors.
