One of the duties of the directorate is the operational oversight of all USPTO systems and applications. This oversight is independent of the application development directorate and the infrastructure support directorate, to ensure a check and balance exist. When I first came on board in 2012, the major patent and trademark applications were experiencing serious issues with design reliability and operational issues at the infrastructure level. Concurrently during this timeframe, OPG had been assigned the task of holding business review meetings with leadership of Patents and Trademarks.

How do you define, talk about, and understand domestic violence (DV) /interpersonal violence (IPV)? Ms. Latimore defines domestic violence as a pattern of physical, sexual, and/or psychological abuse or the threat of abuse used to get and maintain control over another person in a domestic setting. She says intimate partner violence (IPV) is violence in an intimate relationship by one spouse or a partner onto another spouse or partner. She says that no one ever knows that their relationship is going to become abusive from the beginning, as everything seems perfect during the early stages. She further states that controlling and possessive behaviors emerge as the relationship grows. Ms. Latimore concludes that although domestic violence may not look the same in every relationship, the one thing they all have in common is, the abusive partner wants power and control over his victim.

Both chiefs played a role in both external and internal roles as the chief executive for their departments. Overall, I would say Chief Davis was more focused on the external role, while Chief Fortier played a more integral role internally. Davis clearly understood the biggest obstacle facing his agency was a lack of dialog between the police department and the community and city government (Cordner, 2016). Although Davis made changes and improvements internally to his operations and administrative functions, he directed the bulk of his energies to opening the doors of his department to the community (Cordner, 2016). He forged a trusting bond with the public, local government and schools, which gained the support of his own employees because
Yesterday, I became disgusted listening to Mr. Owens talked about how well USPTO is doing using DEVOPS and Agile on a system called FPNG. What he did not tell you is that his staff has only a minor role because the Chief Financial Officer (CFO) does not have any confidence in him and most of the development is being done in CFO. I am tired of watching the CIO lie to our faces and continue the biggest fraud, waste and abuse scheme in the federal government.

As the book states, the departmental agencies operate under the President’s Cabinet and the independent agencies operate without the oversight of Cabinet’s secretary. With the Senate consent, The President appoints Cabinet secretaries as well as the heads of independent agencies. Although the independent agencies are a part of the Executive Branch, they are, or should be, independent of presidential control. Departmental agencies are under a direct control of the President.
