Burden Hours: 149,267.
Cost Burden: $103,000,869.42.
Needs and Uses: 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 who use
their marks, or intend to use their
marks, in commerce regulable by
Congress, may file an application with
the USPTO to register their marks.
Registered marks remain on the register
indefinitely, so long as the owner of the
registration files the necessary
maintenance documents. The rules
implementing the Trademark Act are set
forth in 37 CFR part 2.
The Act and rules mandate that each
certificate of registration include the
mark, the particular goods and/or
services for which the mark is
registered, the owner’s name, dates of
use of the mark in commerce, and
certain other information. The USPTO
also provides similar information to the
public concerning pending applications.
Individuals or businesses may
determine the availability of a mark by
accessing the register through the
USPTO’s Web site. Accessing and
reviewing the USPTO’s publicly
available information may reduce the
possibility of initiating use of a mark
previously registered or adopted by
another. Thus, the Federal trademark
registration process reduces
unnecessary litigation and its associated
costs and burdens. The information in
this collection is available to the public.
Trademarks can be registered on
either the Principal or Supplemental
Register. Registrations on the Principal
Register confer all of the benefits of
registration provided under the
Trademark Act. Certain marks that are
not eligible for registration on the
Principal Register, but are capable of
