Your OKR template
The objectives of this OKR include drafting, finalizing, and submitting the patent application within an 8-week timeline. Achieving these objectives involves careful planning, drafting of claims, creating drawings for the application, and finally, submitting the application to USPTO.
This OKR stresses the importance of ensuring that the submitted patent application is acknowledged as received by the USPTO, to be done within 12 weeks of the process. This can be confirmed by securing a confirmation of receipt from the USPTO, ensuring that the task is fulfilled.
The OKR also highlights the need to finalize the design of the device and conduct proof-of-concept tests. An initiative for these tests includes setting up a comprehensive schedule, executing the tests, compiling the results, and making any necessary final adjustments to the device design.
