(OMB) for clearance the following

under the provisions of the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995.
Agency: United States Patent and

Title: Patent Term Extension.
OMB Control Number: 0651–0020.

in this information collection.
Type of Request: Revision of a

collection.
Number of Respondents: 620

permits the United States Patent and

review and approval by the Food and
Drug Administration (FDA) or United

(USDA). Only patents for drug products,

156 is 5 years. The USPTO administers
35 U.S.C. 156 through 37 CFR 1.710–
1.791. Separate from the extension
provisions of 35 U.S.C. 156, the USPTO
may in some cases extend the term of an
original patent due to certain delays in
the prosecution of the patent
application, including delays caused by
interference proceedings, secrecy
orders, or appellate review by the Patent
Trial and Appeal Board or a Federal
court in which the patent is issued
pursuant to a decision reversing an
adverse determination of patentability.
The patent term provisions of 35 U.S.C.
154(b), as amended by Title IV, Subtitle
D of the Intellectual Property and
Communications Omnibus Reform Act
of 1999, require the USPTO to notify the
applicant of the patent term adjustment
in the notice of allowance and give the
applicant an opportunity to request
reconsideration of the USPTO’s patent
term adjustment determination.
The public uses this information
collection to file requests related to
patent term extensions and
reconsideration or reinstatement of
patent term adjustments. The
information in this information
collection is used by the USPTO to
consider whether an applicant is
eligible for a patent term extension or
reconsideration of a patent term
adjustment and, if so, to determine the
length of the patent term extension or
adjustment.
Affected Public: Businesses or other
for-profits; not-for-profit institutions.
Frequency: On occasion.
Respondent’s Obligation: Required to
obtain or retain benefits.
