SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Abstract
Under the Inventors’ Rights Act of
1999, as found in 35 U.S.C. 297 and
implemented by 37 CFR Part 4, the
United States Patent and Trademark
Office (USPTO) is required to provide a
forum for the publication of complaints
concerning invention promoters and
responses from the invention promoters
to these complaints. An individual may
submit a complaint concerning an
invention promoter to the USPTO,
which will forward the complaint to the
invention promoter for response. The
complaints and responses will be
published and made available to the
public on the USPTO Web site. The
USPTO does not investigate these
complaints or participate in any legal
proceedings against invention
promoters or promotion firms.
Complaints submitted to the USPTO
must identify the name and address of
the complainant and the invention
promoter or promotion firm, explain the
basis for the complaint, and include the
signature of the complainant. The
identifying information is necessary so
that the USPTO can forward the
complaint to the invention promoter or
promotion firm and also notify the
complainant that the complaint has
been forwarded. Complainants should
understand that the complaints will be
forwarded to the invention promoter for
response and that the complaint and
response will be made available to the
public as required by the Inventors’
Rights Act. If the USPTO does not
receive a response from the invention
promoter, the complaint will still be
published without the response. The
USPTO does not accept complaints
under this program if the complainant
requests confidentiality.
This information collection includes
one form, Complaint Regarding
Invention Promoter (PTO/SB/2048),
which is used by the public to submit
a complaint under this program. This
form is available for download from the
USPTO Web site. Use of this form is not
mandatory as long as the complaint
includes the necessary information and
is clearly marked as a complaint filed
under the Inventors’ Rights Act. There
is no associated form for submitting
responses to the complaints.
II. Method of Collection
By mail, facsimile, or hand delivery to
the USPTO.
III. Data
OMB Number: 0651–0044.
Form Number(s): PTO/SB/2048.
Type of Review: Revision of a
currently approved collection.
Affected Public: Individuals or
households; businesses or other forprofits; and not-for-profit institutions.
Estimated Number of Respondents: 50
responses per year. The USPTO
estimates that approximately 60% of
these responses will be from small
entities.
Estimated Time per Response: The
USPTO estimates that it will take the
public approximately 15 minutes (0.25
hours) to gather the necessary
information, prepare the form, and
submit a complaint to the USPTO and
approximately 30 minutes (0.5 hours)
for an invention promoter or promotion
firm to prepare and submit a response
to a complaint.
Estimated Total Annual Respondent
Burden Hours: 18 hours.
Estimated Total Annual Respondent
Cost Burden: $2,968. The USPTO
expects that complaints will be
prepared by paraprofessionals or
independent inventors. Using the
average of the paraprofessional rate of
$122 per hour and the estimated rate of
$30 per hour for independent inventors,
the USPTO estimates that the average
rate for preparing the complaints will be
approximately $76 per hour. The
USPTO expects that the responses to the
complaints will be prepared by
attorneys or invention promoters. Using
the average of the professional rate of
$371 per hour for attorneys in private
firms and the estimated rate of $100 per
hour for invention promoters, the
USPTO estimates that the average rate
for preparing the responses to the
complaints will be approximately $236
per hour. Therefore, the respondent cost
burden for this collection is estimated to
be $2,968 per year.

I certify that the following action will
not have a significant impact on a
substantial number of small entities.
The major factors considered for this
certification were:
1. The action will not result in any
additional reporting, recordkeeping or
other compliance requirements for small
entities other than the small
organizations that will provide the
services to the Government.
2. The action will result in
authorizing small entities to provide the
services to the Government.
3. There are no known regulatory
alternatives which would accomplish
the objectives of the Javits-WagnerO’Day Act (41 U.S.C. 8501–8506) in
connection with the services proposed
for addition to the Procurement List.
Accordingly, the following services
are added to the Procurement List:
