Good afternoon -
We ended up closing this request, as it was a duplicate request that we received from the Department of Commerce. In essence, Department of Commerce took the lead on gathering the FOIA logs from all bureaus. We provided the information requested - PTO's 2017 FOIA log - directly to DOC, who should have in turn provided that to you.
Please let us know of any further questions.
Thank you
USPTO FOIA Office
