businesses. To support this, the
USPTO—in collaboration with various
non-profit organizations—implemented
the Patent Pro Bono program; a series of
autonomous regional programs that act
as matchmakers to help connect lowincome inventors with volunteer patent
attorneys across the United States. The
Patent Pro Bono program comprises a
network of regional programs organized
by various bar associations, law school
IP clinics, and lawyer referral services
that provide services across all fifty
states, the District of Columbia, and
Puerto Rico.
In 2022, the Patent Trial and Appeal
Board (PTAB) began coordinating pro
bono opportunities through the newly
created PTAB Pro Bono Program, having
supported the establishment of a
national clearinghouse that acts as a
matchmaker to connect under-resourced
inventors with volunteer patent
practitioners across the United States for
assistance in preparing and arguing ex
parte appeals before the PTAB. The
PTAB Bar Association’s national
clearinghouse provides access to legal
representation for pro bono ex parte
appeal services across all fifty states and
the District of Columbia.
Each pro bono program will be
requesting that their respective regional
programs and a national clearinghouse
collect demographic information from
those seeking assistance that will be
self-identified by the applicant. The
requested standardized demographic
information, collected through
Applicant Intake Forms, will be a
voluntary part of the overall application
materials that each independent
inventor fills out when seeking pro bono
assistance. The information collected
will be kept confidential by the regional
programs and the national
clearinghouse and only aggregate
information is shared with the USPTO.
This aggregate information, will also be
used to help determine the extent to
which women, minorities, and veterans
engage the Pro Bono Programs
supported by USPTO.
This renewal of 0651–0082 broadens
the scope of the information collection
to include the PTAB Pro Bono Program,
in addition to the Patent Pro Bono
Program that was covered under this
collection. The name of the information
collection has been adjusted from ‘‘Pro
Bono Survey’’ to ‘‘Patent and PTAB Pro
Bono Programs’’ in order to include
related programs under this single
information collection. This information
collection includes an instrument
capturing data for the Patent Pro Bono
program (Patent Pro Bono Survey) and
its applicant participations (Patent
Applicant Intake Form). The
