Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 100 / Tuesday, May 24, 2022 / Notices 31535 

Rebuild Trust in Government (Dec. 13, 

2021). This survey narrows the focus of 

customer satisfaction to examination 

quality and uses a longitudinal, rotating 

panel design to assess changes in 

customer perceptions and to identify 

key areas for examiner training and 

opportunities for improvement. The 

USPTO surveys patent agents, attorneys, 

and other individuals from large 

domestic corporations (including those 

with 500+ employees), small and 

medium-size businesses, independent 

inventors, and universities, and other 

non-profit research organizations. This 

survey does not include foreign entities. 

The USPTO random sample used in this 

survey is drawn from the Patent 

Application and Location Management 

(PALM) database. The sample 

population is drawn from the top filing 

firms and entities that have filed five or 

more patent applications in a 12-month 

period. This ongoing survey is generally 

conducted twice a year. The USPTO 

uses a rotating panel design where 

participants will take the survey twice 

in back-to-back survey periods. Half the 

participants in each survey period are 

new, completing the survey for the first 

time, and half are returning to complete 

the survey for a second time. This 

design allows a precise measurement of 

changes in customer experience over 

time. The Patents External Quality 

Survey is primarily a web-based survey, 

although respondents can also complete 

the survey via paper and mail if they 

prefer. The content of both versions is 

identical. Potential respondents are sent 

either an email or mailed pre-survey 

letter, depending on noted preferences 

for contact. At the beginning of each 

survey period, respondents are provided 

instructions for accessing and 

completing the survey electronically. 

After a specified response period, a 

survey packet containing a 

questionnaire, a separate cover letter 

prepared by the Deputy Commissioner 

for Patents, and a postage-paid, 

preaddressed return envelope are 

mailed to all sample members that have 

not yet submitted a response. Sampled 

members receiving a paper survey can 

still complete the survey electronically 

if they prefer. Reminder/thank you 

postcards and telephone calls are used 

to encourage responses from sample 

members.
