Submission for OMB Review;
Comment Request
The United States Patent and
Trademark Office (USPTO) will submit
to the Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) for clearance the following
proposal for collection of information
under the provisions of the Paperwork
Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. Chapter 35).
Agency: United States Patent and
Trademark Office (USPTO).
Title: Patent Term Extension.
Form Number(s): None.
Agency Approval Number: 0651–
0020.
Type of Request: Revision of a
currently approved collection.
Burden: 30,905 hours annually.
Number of Respondents: 26,859
responses per year.
Avg. Hours per Response: The USPTO
estimates that it will take the public
from one to 25 hours, depending on the
complexity of the situation, to gather the
necessary information, prepare the
appropriate documents, and submit the
applications, petitions, and requests
included in this collection.
Needs and Uses: The Federal Food,
Drug and Cosmetic Act at 35 U.S.C. 156
permits the USPTO to restore the patent
term lost due to certain types of
regulatory review by the Federal Food
and Drug Administration or the
Department of Agriculture. Only patents
for drug products, medical devices, food
additives, and color additives are
eligible for an extension, which may be
a maximum of five years. In some cases
the USPTO may also extend the term of
an original patent due to certain delays
in the prosecution of the patent

application. The provisions of 35 U.S.C.
154(b) require the USPTO to notify the
applicant of the patent term adjustment
in the notice of allowance and give the
applicant an opportunity to request
reconsideration of the USPTO’s patent
term adjustment determination. The
USPTO administers 35 U.S.C. 154 and
156 through 37 CFR subpart F (1.701–
1.791).
The public uses this information
collection to file requests related to
patent term extensions and petitions for
reconsideration or reinstatement of
patent term adjustments. This
information is used by the USPTO to
consider whether an applicant is
eligible for a patent term extension or
reconsideration of a patent term
adjustment and, if so, to determine the
length of the patent term extension or
adjustment. There are no forms
associated with this collection.
Affected Public: Businesses or other
for-profits; not-for-profit institutions.
Frequency: On occasion.
Respondent’s Obligation: Required to
obtain or retain benefits.
