- Description
- Purpose The purpose of this Request for Information (RFI) is to gather information from different suppliers about the availability and price of large inflatables which feature federally registered trademarks for use at the 2011 National Trademark Expo. This RFI in no way commits nor obligates the Government in any way. Background Description of USPTO's Trademark Expo and Use of Inflatables The United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) will host the National Trademark Expo at the agency's headquarters in Alexandria, VA on October 14 and 15, 2011, and has hosted the Expo for the past three years. The Expo educates the public about the role of trademarks in our global marketplace and highlights the important work of the USPTO and its employees. For the past three years, the Expo has showcased three to ten large inflatables of characters from literature, entertainment media, and/or business in Dulany Gardens, the lawn directly in front of the USPTO. The character's image typically is the federally registered trademark. Past inflatables have been as high as 30 feet and as wide as 20 feet. The inflatables are typically secured by stakes and rope into the ground. Requirements As in the past three years, the USPTO plans to feature large character inflatables that showcase federally registered trademarks. The requirements for participation: (a) Inflatable must be large in size (b) Owner of the inflatable must either be the owner of the trademark or have a license from the trademark owner to use the inflatable (c) Educational value of the inflatable to the public Submission Respondents are asked to provide a brief statement as to the inflatables that are available that meet the above listed requirements on the dates of October 14-October 15, 2011. Responses are due no later than Noon (EST), August 31, 2011 and shall be submitted electronically to: Heather.Bakos@uspto.gov. All submissions will receive verification of receipt. If verification of receipt is not received within 24 hours of submission, the recipient may be reached via phone: 571.272.5361 or fax: 571.273.5361.
