Also, the USPTO may determine that a 

mark is not entitled to registration, 

pursuant to one or more provisions of 

the Act. In such cases, the USPTO will 

issue an Office Action advising the 

applicant of the refusal to register the 

mark. Applicants reply to these Office 

Actions by providing the required 

information and/or by putting forth 

legal arguments as to why the refusal of 

registration should be withdrawn. 

The USPTO administers the Act 

through title 37 of the Code of Federal 

Regulations. These rules allow the 

USPTO to request and receive 

information required to process 

applications. These rules also allow 

applicants to submit certain 

amendments to their applications. 

Applicants may also supplement their 

applications and provide further 

information by filing a Voluntary 

Amendment Not in Response to USPTO 

Office Action/Letter, a Request for 

Reconsideration after Final Office 

Action, a Post-Approval/Publication/

request to the Office of Management and 

Budget (OMB) for review and clearance 

in accordance with the Paperwork 

Reduction Act of 1995, on or after the

Title: Global Intellectual Property 

Academy (GIPA) Surveys. 

OMB Control Number: 0651–0065. 

Needs and Uses: The Global 

Intellectual Property Academy (GIPA) 

was established in 2006 to offer training 

programs on enforcement of intellectual 

property rights, patents, trademarks, and 

copyrights. GIPA’s training programs are 

designed to meet the specific needs of 

foreign government officials concerning 

various intellectual property topics. By 

attending these programs, foreign 

government officials learn about global 

intellectual property rights protection 

and enforcement and discuss strategies 

to handle the protection and 

enforcement issues in their respective 

countries. The GIPA training programs 

are an important instrument that 

USPTO uses to achieve its objectives of 

halting intellectual property theft and 

advancing intellectual property right 

policies. 

The surveys in this information 

collection are conducted in an effort to 

provide additional details on ‘‘who’’ 

participants are, what kind of positions 

they hold, length of time working in an 

intellectual property area, type of 

organizations where respondents work, 

type of intellectual property functions, 

and the effect of the GIPA program on 

their professional work and their 

country’s intellectual property efforts. 

This information is being collected to 

improve the services that the USPTO 

provides in its missions of serving the 

international IP community. The data 

captured will also be used to help meet 

organizational performance and 

accountability goals through the 

following legislative mandates and 

performance guidance: 

• Government Performance and 

Results Act of 1993 (GPRA); 1

• Government Performance and 

Results Modernization Act of 2010 

(GPRMA); 2
