I. Abstract
This collection covers information
requirements related to civil actions and
claims involving current and former
employees of the United States Patent
and Trademark Office (USPTO). The
rules for these legal processes may be
found under 37 CFR part 104, which
outlines procedures for service of
process, demands for employee
testimony and production of documents
in legal proceedings, reports of
unauthorized testimony, employee
indemnification, and filing claims
against the USPTO under the Federal
Tort Claims Act (28 U.S.C. 2672) and
the corresponding Department of Justice
regulations (28 CFR part 14). The public
may also petition the USPTO Office of
General Counsel under 37 CFR 104.3 to
waive or suspend these rules in
extraordinary cases.
The procedures under 37 CFR part
104 ensure that service of process
intended for current and former
employees of the USPTO is handled
properly. The USPTO will only accept
service of process for an employee
acting in an official capacity. This
collection is necessary so that
respondents or their representatives can
serve a summons or complaint on the
USPTO, demand employee testimony
and documents related to a legal
proceeding, or file a claim under the
Federal Tort Claims Act. Respondents
may also petition the USPTO to waive
or suspend these rules for legal
processes. This collection is also
