VerDate Mar<15>2010 16:59 May 21, 2013 Jkt 229001 A. Purpose The patent coverage in FAR subpart 27.2 requires the contractor to report each notice of a claim of patent or copyright infringement that came to the contractor’s attention in connection with performing a Government contract (sections 27.202–1 and 52.227–2). The contractor is also required to report all royalties anticipated or paid in excess of $250 for the use of patented inventions by furnishing the name and address of licensor, date of license agreement, patent number, brief description of item or component, percentage or dollar rate of royalty per unit, unit price of contract item, and number of units (sections 27.202–5, 52.227–6, and 52.227–9). Public comments are particularly invited on: Whether this collection of information is necessary for the proper performance of functions of the Federal Acquisition Regulations (FAR), and whether it will have practical utility; whether our estimate of the public burden of this collection of information is accurate, and based on valid assumptions and methodology; ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to be collected; and ways in which we can minimize the burden of the collection of information on those who are to respond, through the use of appropriate technological collection techniques or other forms of information technology. B. Annual Reporting Burden The information collection requirement in the FAR remains unchanged for the estimated number of respondents and responses received annually. There is no centralized database in the Federal Government that maintains information regarding notice or claim of patent or copyright infringement, when a response to a solicitation contains costs or charges to royalties or when a contractor submits a statement of royalties paid or required to be paid. Subject matter experts in intellectual property law were consulted to obtain additional information that could result in revised estimates for the public burden. These inquiries yielded no additional information in regards to the respondents or responses on a yearly basis. No public comments were received in prior years that have challenged the validity of the Government’s estimates. PO 00000 Frm 00038 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 Number of Respondents: 30. Responses Per Respondent: 1. Total Responses: 30. Average Burden Hours per Response: .5. Total Burden Hours: 15.
