USPTO Telework Annual Report 2015

The United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) telework program is valuable to employees, the agency, as well as to external stakeholders. This initiative is considered the gold standard for telework in the federal government. The USPTO telework program started in 1997 with 18 Trademark examining attorneys. At the end of the fourth quarter 2015, the agency had more than 10,000 employees working remotely between one and five days per week. Between fourth quarter fiscal year (FY) 2014 and fourth quarter FY 2015, the percent of positions eligible to telework increased from 91 percent to 93 percent (adding 293 eligible positions agency-wide). The USPTO telework program provides cost savings by reducing the need for additional office space, enhancing recruitment and retention, fostering greater efficiency in production and management, and providing opportunities for expanded work flexibility and better work-life balance for participating employees.
