The United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) is an agency under the United States Department of Commerce (DOC) with headquarters located in Alexandria, Virginia. The mission of the USPTO is to administer the laws and regulations related to patents and trademarks in order to promote industrial and technical progress in the United States and strengthen the national economy. The USPTO carries out its mission by examining patent and trademark applications, issuing patents and registering trademarks, disseminating patent and trademark information to the public and by encouraging a domestic and international climate in which intellectual property can flourish. The USPTO has multiple legal offices within the Office of the General Counsel (OGC) that provide administrative and intellectual property law support for the agency. These offices currently use a variety of automated systems and manual processes to manage the legal cases and matters. The OGC organization needs a unified, legal case management solution for these organizations to use. This RFI seeks to obtain information from interested parties, including the vendor community, about potential opportunities to acquire commercial off the shelf (COTS) legal-specific software for the USPTO. This software is required to allow OGC organizations to manage their legal cases and matters from inception to completion. This software will need to be a turn-key solution and not require modification from the vendor to implement. The vendor will provide installation assistance; administrator and end-user training; and additionally perform a data migration of cases from our current case management system.
