The Department of Commerce encourages, serves, and promotes the Nation's 
international trade, economic growth, and technological advancement. The 
Department provides a wide variety of programs through the competitive 
free enterprise system. It offers assistance and information to increase 
America's competitiveness in the world economy; administers programs to 
prevent unfair foreign trade competition; provides social and economic 
statistics and analyses for business and government planners; provides 
research and support for the increased use of scientific, engineering, 
and technological development; works to improve our understanding and 
benefits of the Earth's physical environment and oceanic resources; 
grants patents and registers trademarks; develops policies and conducts 
research on telecommunications; provides assistance to promote domestic 
economic development; and assists in the growth of minority businesses.

The Department was designated as such by act of March 4, 1913 (15 U.S.C. 
1501), which reorganized the Department of Commerce and Labor, created 
by act of February 14, 1903 (15 U.S.C. 1501), by transferring all labor 
activities into a new, separate Department of Labor. The Department of 
Commerce (DOC) is composed of the Office of the Secretary and the 
operating units.
