Description

(Please see attachment PDF for Sources Sought)



The United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO), Office of International Policy and Affairs (OPIA) is conducting market research on securing a venue space for the upcoming IP5 Heads of Office meetings in Honolulu, Hawaii for June 13-15, 2022.

The five IP offices, or IP5 Offices, are the US Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO), the European Patent Office (EPO), the Japan Patent Office (JPO), the Korean Intellectual Property Office (KIPO), and the National Intellectual Property Administration (CNIPA formerly SIPO) in China.



The IP5 Offices together handle about 80 per cent of the world’s patent applications, and 95 per cent of all work carried out under the Patent Cooperation Treaty. The IP5 Offices work together closely to improve efficiency and address the growing backlogs in applications worldwide. Beginning in Hawaii in 2007, the IP5 Offices have been meeting annually. Hosting duties alternate between the five offices. It was decided that USPTO will host the annual meeting in Honolulu, Hawaii.





This Sources Sought Notice is strictly for market research. It is for informational and planning purposes and shall NOT be construed as a solicitation or as an obligation or commitment by the Government at this time.





The USPTO reserves the right to review responses to the sources sought and issue a Request for Proposal (RFP) / Request for Quote (RFQ) to vendors using the Alternative Competition Method in accordance with the Patent and Trademark Office Acquisition Guidance (PTAG), and the Patent and Trademark Office Efficiency Act 35 U.S.C 2(b)(4)(A).
