to eight hours to complete this
information, depending on the form or
petition. This includes time to gather
the necessary information, prepare the

the USPTO charges maintenance fees for
keeping utility patents in force.
Maintenance fee payments are due at

the patent was granted. If the payment
of the appropriate maintenance fee is
not received within a grace period of six
months following each of the above
intervals, the patent will expire and no
longer be enforceable. The public uses
this collection to submit patent
maintenance fee payments, to file
petitions regarding delayed or refused
payments, and to designate an address
to be used for fee-related
correspondence. The USPTO uses this
information to process and record
maintenance fee payments, to consider
related petitions, and to send fee
correspondence to the correct address.
This information collection includes
forms for submitting a maintenance fee
payment, filing a petition to accept an
unavoidably or unintentionally delayed
maintenance fee payment, and
designating a separate address for fee
correspondence with the USPTO. The
USPTO does not provide an official
form for petitions to review refusals to
accept payments of maintenance fees
prior to patent expiration or for
petitions to review refusals to accept
delayed payments of maintenance fees
in expired patents.
Affected Public: Individuals or
households, businesses or other forprofits, not-for-profit institutions, farms,
the Federal Government, and state, local
or tribal governments.

the grant of the patent.
