SUMMARY:
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION
I. Abstract
The United States Patent and
Trademark Office (USPTO) administers
the Trademark Act, 15 U.S.C. 1051 et
seq., which provides for the Federal
registration of trademarks, service
marks, collective trademarks and service
marks, collective membership marks,
and certification marks. Individuals and
businesses that use or intend to use
such marks in commerce may file an
application to register their marks with
the USPTO.
Such individuals and businesses may
also submit various communications to
the USPTO, including requests to
amend their registrations to delete goods
or services that are no longer being used
by the registrant. Registered marks
remain on the register for ten years and
can be renewed, but will be cancelled
unless the owner files with the USPTO
a declaration attesting to the continued
use (or excusable non-use) of the mark
in commerce within specific deadlines.
Applicants may also surrender a
registration and, in limited situations,
petition the Director to reinstate a
registration that has been cancelled.
The rules implementing the Act are
set forth in 37 CFR part 2. These rules
mandate that each register entry include
the mark, the goods and/or services in
connection with which the mark is
used, ownership information, dates of
use, and certain other information. The
USPTO also provides similar
information concerning pending
applications. The register and pending
application information may be
accessed by an individual or by
businesses to determine the availability
of a mark. By accessing the USPTO’s
information, parties may reduce the
possibility of initiating use of a mark
previously adopted by another. The
Federal trademark registration process
may thereby lessen the filing of papers
in court and between parties.
The USPTO is proposing to include
six new items in the inventory at this
time to take into account a new method
of electronic submission of information
for which a dedicated TEAS form is not

The USPTO is proposing to include six new items in the inventory at
this time to take into account a new method of electronic submission of
information for which a dedicated TEAS form is not yet available (i.e.,
``Global Forms''). The new items are: Response to Intent-to-Use (ITU)
Divisional Unit Office Action, Response to Petition to Revive
Deficiency Letter, Petition to the Director Under Trademark Rule 2.146,
Due Diligence Petition Under Trademark Rule 2.66, Petition to Revive
With Request to Delete Section 1(b) Basis or to Delete ITU Goods/
Services After NOA, and Request to Divide Application. Corresponding
paper submissions for these six new items are also included in this
collection.

Electronically if applicants submit the information using the forms
available through the Trademark Electronic Application System (TEAS).
By mail or hand delivery if applicants choose to submit the information
in paper form.

Type of Review: Revision of a currently approved collection.
Affected Public: Primarily business or other for-profit
organizations.
Estimated Number of Respondents: 289,519 per year.

necessary information, create the documents, and submit the completed
request to the USPTO.
Estimated Total Annual Respondent Burden Hours: 48,469.
Estimated Total Annual Respondent Cost Burden: $15,752,425. The
USPTO believes that attorneys will complete this information. The
estimated hourly rate for attorneys in private firms is $325. Using
this hourly rate, the USPTO estimates that the total respondent cost
burden for this collection is $15,752,425 per year. This is a fully
