Submission for OMB Review;
Comment Request; ‘‘Patent Review
and Derivation Proceedings’’
The United States Patent and
Trademark Office (USPTO) will submit
to the Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) for clearance the following
proposal for collection of information
under the provisions of the Paperwork
Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. Chapter 35).
Agency: United States Patent and
Trademark Office, Commerce
Title: Patent Review and Derivation
Proceedings.
Form Number(s): N/A.
Type of Request: Regular.
Number of Respondents: 11.994
responses per year.
Average Hours per Response: The
USPTO estimates that it will take the
public between an estimated 6 minutes
(0.10 hours) to 165.30 hours to complete
an individual form in this collection.
Burden Hours: 1,474,449 hours.
Cost Burden: $54,307,175 per year.
Needs and Uses: The public will use
this information collection to petition
the Board to seek the institution of—and
to participate in—inter partes reviews,
post-grant reviews, covered business
method patent reviews, and derivation
proceedings.
The Board disseminated information
that it collections (unless filed under
seal) through various publications and
databases. This information collection
includes the filings of the parties and
decisions and orders by the Board in
trials and derivation proceedings.
Opinions authored by the Board have
varying degrees of authority attached to
them. There are precedential opinions
which, when published, are binding and
provide the criteria and authority that
the Board will use to decide all other
factually similar cases (until the opinion
is overruled or changed by statute).
There are informative opinions, which
are non-precedential and illustrate the
norms of Board decision-making for the
public. There are representative
opinions, which are non-precedential
and are publicly available opinions that
are not designed as precedential or
informative. Since public policy favors
a widespread publication of opinions,
the Board publishes all publicly
available opinions, even if the opinions
are not binding precedent upon the
Board.
Affected Public: Businesses or other
for-profits; not-for-profit institutions.
Frequency: On occasion.

create the document, and submit the

Burden Hours: 207,362 hours per
year.
Cost Burden: $80.40 per year.
Needs and Uses: This information
collection is necessary so that patent
applicants and/or patentees may: (1)
Provide a statement if a nonprovisional
application filed on or after March 16,
2013, other than a nonprovisional
international design application, claims
the benefit of, or priority to, the filing
date of a foreign, provisional, or
nonprovisional application filed prior to
March 16, 2013, and also contains, or
contained at any time, a claim to a
claimed invention that has an effective
filing date (as defined in 37 CFR 1.109)
on or after March 16, 2013; (2) identify
the inventorship and ownership or
obligation to assign ownership of each
claimed invention on its effective filing
date (as defined in 37 CFR 1.109) or on
its date of invention, as applicable, in an
application or patent naming one or
more joint inventors, when necessary
for purposes of a USPTO proceeding;
and (3) show that a disclosure was by
the inventor or joint inventor, or was by
a party who obtained the subject matter
from the inventor or a joint inventor, or
that there was a prior public disclosure
by the inventor or a joint inventor, or by
a party who obtained the subject matter
from the inventor or a joint inventor.
The USPTO will use the statement
that a nonprovisional application filed
on or after March 16, 2013, other than
a nonprovisional international design
application, that claims the benefit of, or
priority to, the filing date of a foreign,
provisional, or nonprovisional
application filed prior to March 16,
2013, and contains, or contained at any
time, a claim to a claimed invention that
has an effective filing date (as defined
in 37 CFR 1.109) on or after March 16,
2013, (or lack of such a statement) to
readily determine whether the
nonprovisional application is subject to
the changes to 35 U.S.C. 102 and 103 in
the AIA. The USPTO will use the
identification of the inventorship and
ownership or obligation to assign
ownership when it is necessary to
determine whether a U.S. patent or U.S.
patent application publication resulting
from another nonprovisional
application qualifies as prior art under
35 U.S.C. 102(a)(2) or pre-AIA 35 U.S.C.
102(e). The USPTO will use information
concerning whether a disclosure was by
the inventor or joint inventor, or was by
a party who obtained the subject matter
from the inventor or a joint inventor, or
that there was a prior public disclosure
by the inventor or a joint inventor, or by
a party who obtained the subject matter
