- Description
- Attachment 3 - CLM st96 Attachment 2 - RedBook Attachment 1 - Sample Document Types RFI # SS-PAPT-1200078 for USPTO Patent Document Conversion and XML Generation Solution Patents End-to-End (PE2E) will be the United States Patent & Trademark Office's (USPTO) next-generation IT infrastructure, supporting Patents business operations. The PE2E system will replace the nearly four (4) dozen aging legacy systems used today with a single system that unifies electronic processing over the entire patent application lifecycle (hence "end-to-end"). The USPTO seeks a solution that will convert documents that are currently represented as scanned TIFF images to documents represented as structured text in XML format. As t he PE2E system will operate on XML representations of all patent application documents from initial filing to publication, this RFI seeks to obtain information from interested parties, including the vendor community, about potential solutions to the problem of converting image-based patent application documents to XML format. The USPTO is exploring a wide range of possible solutions for several different but related needs relating to data conversion of patent application documents. This RFI seeks to obtain information from interested parties, including the vendor community, about potential opportunities to find solutions for this project at three stages. (1) Initial processing with ad hoc collections to convert about 500 documents, while ramping up conversion capabilities to produce a 3-day turnaround time and validate the feasibility of item #2, which follows. (2) A path towards an automated or semi-automated system for converting all document types that are in image format to fully structured textual format. (3) When PE2E becomes operational, the intention will be for most documents submitted to the USPTO to be structured text or as text-backed documents; however, there will continue to be a need for scanning and conversion of certain documents and thus, the solution should be scalable to addresses this future need.
