The United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO), as required by the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, invites comments on a proposed extension of an existing information collection: 0651–0009 (Applications for Trademark Registration). DATES: Written comments must be submitted on or before November 28, 2017. SUMMARY: You may submit comments by any of the following methods: • Email: InformationCollection@ uspto.gov.

Additional information about this collection is also available at https://www.reginfo.gov under ‘‘Information Collection Review.’’ asabaliauskas on DSKBBXCHB2PROD with NOTICES ADDRESSES: SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION I. Abstract The United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) administers VerDate Sep<11>2014 18:50 Sep 28, 2017 Jkt 241001 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 regulated 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: www.uspto.gov/ trademark. 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. 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 functioning as a trademark, may be registered on the Supplemental Register. Registrations on the Supplemental Register cannot be transferred to the Principal Register, but owners of registrations on the Supplemental Register may apply for registration of their marks on the Principal Register. The information in this collection can be submitted in paper format or electronically through the Trademark Electronic Application System (TEAS). Applicants who file using the TEAS RF or TEAS Plus forms pay a lower filing fee than applicants who file using the TEAS Regular form. These applicants must agree to file certain communications regarding the application through TEAS and to PO 00000 Frm 00005 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 45579 receive communications by email. TEAS Plus users must also file a ‘‘complete’’ application, select their identification(s) of goods/services from the USPTO’s Acceptable Identification of Goods and Services Manual, and pay the fees for all classes at the time of filing. TEAS Plus applications are only available for trademark/service mark applications. There are no TEAS Plus application forms available for certification marks, collective marks, collective membership marks, and applications for registration on the Supplemental Register at this time. II. Method of Collection Electronically via TEAS forms, by mail, or by hand delivery. III. Data OMB Number: 0651–0009. Instrument Number(s): PTO Forms 1478, 1479, 1480, 1481, 1482. Type of Review: Extension of a Previously Existing Information Collection. Affected Public: Businesses or other for-profits; not-for-profit institutions; individuals. Estimated Number of Respondents: 437,599 responses per year. Estimated Time per Response: The USPTO estimates that it takes the public approximately 23 minutes (0.38 hours) to 35 minutes (0.58 hours) to complete this information, depending on the application. This includes the time to gather the necessary information, prepare the application, and submit the complete request to the USPTO. The time estimates shown for the electronic forms in this collection are based on the average amount of time needed to complete and electronically file the associated form. Estimated Total Annual Respondent Burden Hours: 205,854.64 hours per year. Estimated Total Annual Respondent Cost Burden: $90,164,332.32. The USPTO expects that associated attorneys will complete these applications. The professional hourly rate for attorneys is $438. The rate is established by estimates in the 2017 Report on the Economic Survey, published by the Committee on Economics of Legal Practice of the American Intellectual Property Law Association. Using this hourly rate, the USPTO estimates that the total respondent cost burden for this collection is $90,164,332.32 per year. E:\FR\FM\29SEN1.SGM 29SEN1
