Grace Period Study Survey

Nonresponse Letter
Dear [Name],
Recently, we conducted a survey of European researchers on their patenting behavior. The
survey results will be used by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) to
improve international patent policy.
Although you did not respond to the survey, we would like your response to a shorter survey
which will be used to validate the results of the original survey.
The nonresponse survey consists of five multiple choice questions, all of which can be
completed electronically. The survey can be accessed [Hyperlink].
All responses are anonymous, and your responses will be joined to those of other participants.
Although your participation is voluntary, we hope that you will choose to answer the survey.
Thank you for your consideration. If you have any questions about the survey, please contact
Ben Picozzi at bpicozzi@iipi.org.
Sincerely,
[Signature]
Bruce A. Lehman, Esq.
