RESPONSE: The writing sample should be reflective of the proposed person’s (1) understanding of patent law principles, (2) understanding of patent prosecution strategy, (3) technical understanding of an invention, and (4) ability to write persuasively and clearly. Offerors are responsible for selecting documents generated by their firm that best reflect their firm’s skillset in these four criteria.
