Hours per Response: The USPTO estimates that a recognized Native American tribe will require an average of 10 to 12 minutes (0.17 to 0.20 hours) to complete a request to record an official insignia, including preparing the appropriate documents and submitting the completed request.

The insignia database serves as a reference for examining attorneys when determining the registrability of a mark that may falsely suggest a connection to the official insignia of a Native American tribe. The entry of an official insignia into the database does not confer any rights to the tribe that submitted the insignia, and entry is not the legal equivalent of registering the insignia as a trademark under 15 U.S.C. 1051 et seq. This information collection is used by the USPTO to enter an official insignia submitted by a federally- or state-recognized Native American tribe into the database. There are no forms associated with this collection. Affected Public: Tribal governments. Frequency: On occasion. Respondent’s Obligation: Required to obtain or retain benefits.
