2018年11月29日，美国专利商标局USPTO正式发布最新五年战略计划：2018-2022战略计划。
USPTO的主要战略目标为：
优化专利质量和及时性; 优化商标质量和及时性; 以及提供国内和全球的领导，以改善全球的知识产权政策，实施和保护。
to optimize patent quality and timeliness; to optimize trademark quality and timeliness; and, to provide domestic and global leadership to improve intellectual property policy, enforcement, and protection worldwide.

我看了战略计划原文， 一些小细节引起了我的注意：
1. 封面
上图所示，是USPTO战略计划的封面。封面照片中使用了美国林肯总统曾经说过一句名言：
专利制度给天才之火浇上了利益之油。
The patent system added the fuel of interest to the fire of genius.
很多人认为图片中的这句话是刻在USPTO的大门上的，其实这是不对的。
这句话是刻在美国商务部的大门上的，而不是美国专利商标局的大门上的。
不过，USPTO是美国商务部下设的一个机构，所以，封面用美国商务部大门的图片，也很正常。
Patent quote: “The patent system added the fuel of interest to the fire of genius – Lincoln”. On a doorway facade of the United States Department of Commerce, Washington, DC, USA.

2. 战略计划制定过程
在报告中，给出了战略计划的制定过程。
第1步，组织评估(Organizational Assessment)，使用了SWOT分析。在附录A中还详细列出了SWOT分析的外部因素和挑战，其中包括：美国专利制度的变革、经济波动、法院判决等。其中也提及了与其他几个大的专利局的沟通，只是提到我们国家知识产权局是时，居然还使用的是SIPO。
此后几步，包括形成战略，考虑与美国商务部的计划一致，根据预算调整，进行内部评估、外部咨询等，最后征集公众意见，大岭也曾经分享过相关信息。
可见，该战略计划的制定借鉴了企业管理中比较成熟的战略制定方法，又考虑了公共政策的特殊性，值得借鉴。
3. 战略框架：任务、愿景、战略目标、指导原则
战略计划的框架层级清晰明确，有利于执行和推动，包括：
任务
愿景
战略目标
为了实现这四个战略目标，又分别制定了指导原则，14个倡议和76个举措，最终形成了有效的战略框架，例如：
总之，USPTO的战略计划，对于个人、企业以及政府主管机构制定战略计划，都有很多值得学习借鉴之处。
当然，最重要的是，我们国家的知识产权战略计划，在从我们国情出发的同时，也应关注并对标美国的战略计划，提升专利和商标的质量，使我国真正成为知识产权强国，引领全球知识产权的发展。

U.S. Patent and Trademark Office releases 2018-2022 Strategic Plan
Strategic Plan sets priorities to strengthen the USPTO, drive innovation, and support economic growth
November 29, 2018
WASHINGTON – The United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) today published its 2018-2022 Strategic Plan. The strategic plan sets out the USPTO’s mission-focused strategic goals: to optimize patent quality and timeliness; to optimize trademark quality and timeliness; and, to provide domestic and global leadership to improve intellectual property policy, enforcement, and protection worldwide.
“We are confident in attaining the goals set out in this plan and look forward to the continued engagement and feedback from our stakeholders and employees,” said Under Secretary of Commerce for Intellectual Property and Director of the United States Patent and Trademark Office Andrei Iancu. “Together we celebrate innovation and entrepreneurship—we are very proud of the men and women who stand behind a well-balanced American intellectual property system.”
In conjunction with the development of the strategic plan, the USPTO is committed to making execution of the strategic plan an express responsibility of USPTO executives. This includes monitoring implementation of the plan, as well as keeping employees, stakeholders, and the public informed of progress. The USPTO website and the Data Visualization Center are key components of this communications commitment.
A draft USPTO 2018-2022 Strategic Plan was posted on July 26, 2018, for employee review and feedback followed by a town hall meeting on July 24, 2018. The draft plan was then posted on the USPTO websiteon Aug. 22, 2018, and comments were solicited from stakeholders, customers, and the general public. Review and comments were also sought from the USPTO’s Patent and Trademark Public Advisory Committees, in addition to the three union bargaining unit presidents. Also, the proposed strategic plan was shared with the Department of Commerce, the Office of Management and Budget, and Congress.
