SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
SUMMARY:
I. Abstract
This collection of information is
required by the Trademark Act of 1946,
Sections 13, 14, and 20, 15 U.S.C. 1063,
1064, and 1070, respectively. Under the
Trademark Act, any individual or entity
that adopts a trademark or service mark
to identify their goods or services may
apply to federally register their mark.
Section 14 of the Trademark Act allows
individuals and entities to file a petition
to cancel a registration of a mark, while
Section 13 allows individuals and
entities who believe that they would be
damaged by the registration of a mark to
file an opposition, or an extension of
time to file an opposition, to the
registration of a mark. Section 20 of the
Trademark Act allows individuals and
entities to file an appeal from any final
decision of the Trademark Examining
Attorney assigned to review an
application for registration of a mark.
The USPTO administers the
Trademark Act of 1946 through the
regulations at 37 CFR part 2, which
contains the various rules that govern
the filings identified above and other
submissions filed in connection with
inter partes and ex parte proceedings.
These petitions, notices, extensions, and
additional papers are filed with the
Trademark Trial and Appeal Board
(TTAB), an administrative tribunal
empowered to determine the right to
register and subsequently determine the
validity of a trademark.
The information in this collection
must be submitted electronically
through the Electronic System for
Trademark Trials and Appeals (ESTTA).
If applicants or entities wish to submit
the petitions, notices, extensions, and
additional papers in inter partes and ex
parte cases, they must use the forms
provided through ESTTA.
The responses in this information
collection is a matter of public record,
and is used by the public for a variety
of private business purposes related to
establishing and enforcing trademark
rights. This information is important to
the public, as both common law
trademark owners and federal trademark
registrants must actively protect their
own rights.
II. Method of Collection
Items in this information collection
may be submitted via mail, hand
delivery, or electronic submission.

Type of Review: Revision of a
currently approved information
collection.
Affected Public: Private sector;
individuals and households.
Estimated Number of Respondents:
70,475 respondents. The USPTO
estimates that the majority (95%) of
respondents will be from the private
sector, but that about 5% will be
individuals and households.
Estimated Number of Responses:
83,100 responses per year.
Estimated Time per Response: The
USPTO estimates that it will take the
public from 10 to 30 minutes (0.17 to
0.50 hours), depending on the
complexity of the situation, to gather the
necessary information, prepare the
appropriate documents, and submit the
information required for this
information collection.
Estimated Total Annual Respondent
Burden Hours: 21,133 hours.
Estimated Total Annual Respondent
(Hourly) Cost Burden: $5,798,746. The
USPTO estimates that it will take a
combined effort by attorneys and
paraprofessional/paralegals to complete
the requirements in this information
collection. The hourly rate for attorneys
is $400, published in the 2019 Report of
the Economic Survey from the Law
Practice Management Committee of the
American Intellectual Property Law
Association (AIPLA). The hourly rate for
paraprofessional/paralegals is $145 as
published in the 2018 Utilization and
Compensation Survey by the National
Association of Legal Assistants (NALA).
After calculating the average of these
rates, the USPTO estimates that the
hourly rate will be $272.50. Using this
hourly rate, the USPTO estimates that
the total respondent cost burden for this
information collection will be
$5,798,746 per year.
