Description View Changes

The United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) is conducting market research via a Request for Information (RFI) to engage with the marketplace to gather input on industry best practices for leveraging the latest technology to improve the ingestion and management of intellectual property (IP) data to publish and issue 100% of patents publications in-house. We invite the marketplace to share innovative ideas and methods for patent application ingestion, processing, and final publication, as well as data and image conversion. The USPTO requests the marketplace to share innovative ideas and methods for patent application data curation for structured publication purposes, to include the conversion and validation of source text, image and intermediate data-objects into standardized publication-ready data.

Please see the attached RFI and attachments for details.

Amendment 01: The USPTO is reviewing and responding to relevant questions received. A Q&A is forthcoming and will be posted as a subsequent amendment. The RFI response deadline is extended to 7/30/25 at 5:00 PM Eastern Time.
