SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Abstract
The United States Patent and
Trademark Office (USPTO) is required
by 35 U.S.C. 131 and 151 to examine
applications and, when appropriate,
allow applications and issue them as
patents. When an application for a
patent is allowed by the USPTO, the
USPTO issues a notice of allowance and
the applicant must pay the specified
E:\FR\FM\31MYN1.SGM
31MYN1
32630
Federal Register / Vol. 78, No. 105 / Friday, May 31, 2013 / Notices
issue fee (including the publication fee,
if applicable) within three months to
avoid abandonment of the application.
If the appropriate fees are paid within
the proper time period, the USPTO can
then issue the patent. If the fees are not
paid within the designated time period,
the application is abandoned and the
applicant may petition the Director to
accept a delayed payment with a
satisfactory showing that the delay was
unavoidable or unintentional. The
Petition for Revival of an Application
for Patent Abandoned Unavoidably
(Form PTO/SB/61) and the Petition for
Revival of an Application for Patent
Abandoned Unintentionally (Form
PTO/SB/64) are approved under
information collection 0651–0031. The
rules outlining the procedures for
payment of the issue fee and issuance of
a patent are found at 37 CFR 1.18 and
1.311–1.317.
Chapter 25 of Title 35 U.S.C. provides
for several actions that an applicant may
take after issuance of a patent, including
requesting a certificate of correction to
correct an error or errors in the patent.
If the USPTO determines that the
request should be approved, the USPTO
will issue a certificate of correction. For
an original patent that is believed to be
wholly or partly inoperative, the
assignee(s) or inventor(s) may apply for
reissue of the patent, which entails
several formal requirements including
an oath or declaration stating that the
errors in the patent were not the result
of any deceptive intention on the part of
the reissue applicant. If additional
errors are corrected after the filing of the
reissue application and the original
reissue oath/declaration, the reissue
applicant must submit a supplemental
oath or declaration stating that the
additional errors also occurred without
any deceptive intent. The rules
outlining these procedures are found at
37 CFR 1.171–1.178 and 1.322–1.325.
The public uses this information
collection to request corrections of
errors in issued patents, to submit
applications for reissue patents, and to
submit issue fee payments. The USPTO
is removing the fee costs associated with
the information requirements in this
collection because these fees have been
moved into information collection
0651–0072, which was approved by
OMB in January 2013 in conjunction
with the USPTO rulemaking ‘‘Setting
and Adjusting Patent Fees’’ (RIN 0651–
AC54).
II. Method of Collection
By mail, facsimile, hand delivery, or
electronically to the USPTO.
III. Data
OMB Number: 0651–0033.
Form Number(s): PTO/SB/44/50/51/
51S/52/53/56/141, PTO/AIA/05/06/07,
and PTOL–85B.
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:
352,150 responses per year. The USPTO
estimates that approximately 25% of
these responses will be from small
entities.
Estimated Time per Response: The
USPTO estimates that it will take the
public from 12 minutes (0.20 hours) to
5 hours to gather the necessary
information, prepare the appropriate
form or document, and submit the
information to the USPTO.
Estimated Total Annual Respondent
Burden Hours: 191,690 hours.
Estimated Total Annual Respondent
Cost Burden: $31,276,990. The USPTO
expects that the information in this
collection will be prepared by attorneys
at an estimated rate of $371 per hour,
except for the Issue Fee Transmittal,
which will be prepared by
paraprofessionals at an estimated rate of
$122 per hour. Therefore, the USPTO
estimates that the respondent cost
burden for this collection will be
approximately $31,276,990 per year.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Abstract
The United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) is required
by 35 U.S.C. 131 and 151 to examine applications and, when appropriate,
allow applications and issue them as patents. When an application for a
patent is allowed by the USPTO, the USPTO issues a notice of allowance
and the applicant must pay the specified
[[Page 32630]]
issue fee (including the publication fee, if applicable) within three
months to avoid abandonment of the application. If the appropriate fees
are paid within the proper time period, the USPTO can then issue the
patent. If the fees are not paid within the designated time period, the
application is abandoned and the applicant may petition the Director to
accept a delayed payment with a satisfactory showing that the delay was
unavoidable or unintentional. The Petition for Revival of an
Application for Patent Abandoned Unavoidably (Form PTO/SB/61) and the
Petition for Revival of an Application for Patent Abandoned
Unintentionally (Form PTO/SB/64) are approved under information
collection 0651-0031. The rules outlining the procedures for payment of
the issue fee and issuance of a patent are found at 37 CFR 1.18 and
1.311-1.317.
Chapter 25 of Title 35 U.S.C. provides for several actions that an
applicant may take after issuance of a patent, including requesting a
certificate of correction to correct an error or errors in the patent.
If the USPTO determines that the request should be approved, the USPTO
will issue a certificate of correction. For an original patent that is
believed to be wholly or partly inoperative, the assignee(s) or
inventor(s) may apply for reissue of the patent, which entails several
formal requirements including an oath or declaration stating that the
errors in the patent were not the result of any deceptive intention on
the part of the reissue applicant. If additional errors are corrected
after the filing of the reissue application and the original reissue
oath/declaration, the reissue applicant must submit a supplemental oath
or declaration stating that the additional errors also occurred without
any deceptive intent. The rules outlining these procedures are found at
37 CFR 1.171-1.178 and 1.322-1.325.
The public uses this information collection to request corrections
of errors in issued patents, to submit applications for reissue
patents, and to submit issue fee payments. The USPTO is removing the
fee costs associated with the information requirements in this
collection because these fees have been moved into information
collection 0651-0072, which was approved by OMB in January 2013 in
conjunction with the USPTO rulemaking ``Setting and Adjusting Patent
Fees'' (RIN 0651-AC54).

Affected Public: Individuals or households; businesses or other
for-profits; and not-for-profit institutions.
Estimated Number of Respondents: 352,150 responses per year. The

necessary information, prepare the appropriate form or document, and
submit the information to the USPTO.
Estimated Total Annual Respondent Burden Hours: 191,690 hours.
Estimated Total Annual Respondent Cost Burden: $31,276,990. The
USPTO expects that the information in this collection will be prepared
by attorneys at an estimated rate of $371 per hour, except for the
Issue Fee Transmittal, which will be prepared by paraprofessionals at
an estimated rate of $122 per hour. Therefore, the USPTO estimates that
the respondent cost burden for this collection will be approximately
$31,276,990 per year.
