Agreement Regarding the Implementation of The Patent Employee Recognition for eXcellence (PERX) ProgramAgreement • December 28th, 2022
This Agreement is between the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) and the Patent Office Professional Association (POPA) (hereinafter “Parties”). The USPTO has determined to initiate a new program whereby Supervisory Patent Examiners (SPEs) provide recognition to and promote engagement with Patent Examiners for organizational excellence. A goal of the PERX Program is to improve the supervisor-employee engagement through recognition of activities Examiners voluntarily strive for outside of the Examiner Performance Appraisal Plan (PAP) rating requirements. The PERX Program will provide SPEs a biweekly email with information to recognize and engage examiners during normal course of supervisor-employee feedback.
