Performance
was not met, because:
This target was not met due to the outdated patent pendency model
that was used to forecast and set the target for this measure. |
Strategies
for Improvement:
USPTO plans to examine these issues by contracting with a forecast
modeling expert. The expert will also provide USPTO with advice on
how to best project first action pendency. |
