Original Description: The U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) is excited to launch the EUSOS effort as an opportunity to engage Industry technology companies in an intentional, innovative, and insightful way. The USPTO is at the cutting edge of the nation's technological progress and information technology underpins every action and workflow process within the USPTO. An important component of the USPTO agenda is leveraging information technology to improve and enhance USPTO's consideration of applications and granting U.S. patents and registering trademarks, enable the USPTO to maintain current business production, and meet legislative and legal requirements.

Vendors that submitted responses to Stage 0 must respond to Stage 1 to be further considered. Vendors that did not respond to Stage 0 are eligible to submit a response to Stage 1.
