The United States is a global leader in promoting laws and policies that foster innovation and Intellectual Property (IP) rights – and in encouraging economic investment in the arts, innovation and creativity. The USPTO Vision is to "Lead the Nation and the World in Intellectual Property Protection and Policy." The USPTO Mission is to "foster innovation, competitiveness and economic growth, domestically and abroad, by delivering high quality and timely examination of patent and trademark applications, guiding domestic and international intellectual property policy, and delivering intellectual property information and education worldwide, with a highly skilled, diverse workforce."

In the USPTO Strategic Plan, the Director of the United States Patent and Trademark Office outlines a vision and establishes goals, which recognize the importance of intellectual property protection in a global and technology-based economy. In concert with the USPTO Strategic Plan, this Strategic IT Plan documents the role that information technology plays in achieving the USPTO mission, vision and goals.
