REASONABLE ACCOMMODATIONThe UnitedStates Patent and Trademark Office's (USPTO) policy is to fully comply with the reasonable accommodation requirements of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, as amended, 29 U.S.C. sec. 791 et seq. (Act); 29 C.F.R. pts. 1614, 1630. The USPTO is committed to providing reasonable accommodations to employees and job applicants who are qualified individuals with disabilities, in order to ensure that they enjoy access to all employment opportunities at the USPTO. Reasonable accommodation is a cooperative, interactive process between the individual with a disability and the USPTO. The USPTO will process requests for reasonable accommodation and, where required by law, provide reasonable accommodations in a prompt, fair, and efficient manner.
