Book excerpt: Increases in the volume and complexity of patent applications have lengthened the amount of time it takes the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) to process them. In addition, concerns have continued about USPTO's efforts to hire and retain an adequate patent examination workforce that can not only meet the demand for patents but also help reduce the growing backlog of unexamined patent applications. In this context, GAO was asked to determine for the last 5 years (1) USPTO's process for identifying its annual hiring estimates and the relationship of these estimates to the patent application backlog; (2) the extent to which patent examiner hiring has been offset by attrition, and the factors that may contribute to this attrition; and (3) the extent to which USPTO's retention efforts align with patent examiners' reasons for staying with the agency. For this review, GAO surveyed 1,420 patent examiners, and received an 80 percent response rate.

Increases in the vol. and complexity of patent applications (PA) have extended the time for processing them. Concerns continue about the agency¿s efforts to attract and retain qualified patent examiners (PE) who can help reduce the growing backlog of unexamined PA. In 2007, a report was issued on: (1) USPTO¿s process for making its annual hiring est. and the relationships of these est. to the PA backlog; (2) the extent to which PE hiring has been offset by attrition, and the factors that may contribute to this attrition; and (3) the extent to which USPTO¿s retention efforts align with PE¿s reasons for staying with the agency. This testimony is based on a survey of 1,420 PE. Ill.
