Regulatory Evaluation
This regulation involves a foreign
affairs function of the United States and
therefore, Executive Order 12866 does
not apply and evaluation under the
Department of Transportation’s
Regulatory Policies and Procedures is
not required.
Regulatory Flexibility Act
Determination
I certify that this regulation will not
have a significant economic impact on
a substantial number of small entities.
The St. Lawrence Seaway Regulations
and Rules primarily relate to
commercial users of the Seaway, the
vast majority of whom are foreign vessel
operators. Therefore, any resulting costs
will be borne mostly by foreign vessels.
Environmental Impact
This regulation does not require an
environmental impact statement under
the National Environmental Policy Act
(49 U.S.C. 4321, et seq.) because it is not
a major Federal action significantly
affecting the quality of the human
environment.
Federalism
The Corporation has analyzed this
rule under the principles and criteria in
Executive Order 13132, dated August 4,
1999, and has determined that this
proposal does not have sufficient
federalism implications to warrant a
Federalism Assessment.
Unfunded Mandates
The Corporation has analyzed this
rule under Title II of the Unfunded
Mandates Reform Act of 1995 (Pub. L.
104–4, 109 Stat. 48) and determined that
it does not impose unfunded mandates
on State, local, and tribal governments
and the private sector requiring a
written statement of economic and
regulatory alternatives.
Paperwork Reduction Act
This regulation has been analyzed
under the Paperwork Reduction Act of

Signature Requirements Related to
Acceptance of Electronic Signatures
for Patent Correspondence
United States Patent and
Trademark Office, Department of
Commerce.
ACTION: Final rule.
AGENCY:
The United States Patent and
Trademark Office (USPTO or Office) is
revising the rules of practice in patent
cases to update the signature rule to
provide for the broader permissibility of
electronic signatures using third-party
document-signing software, such as
DocuSign® and Acrobat® Sign, and
more closely align signature
requirements with the rules of practice
in trademark cases. The revised rules
will provide additional flexibility and
convenience to patent applicants and
owners, practitioners, and other parties
who sign patent-related correspondence,
and promote consistency by establishing
signature requirements which are
common to both patent and trademark
matters.
DATES: This final rule is effective on
March 22, 2024.

SUMMARY:
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
ddrumheller on DSK120RN23PROD with RULES1
I. Background
The regulation at 37 CFR 1.4(d) sets
forth the signature requirements for
patent correspondence. Section 1.4(d)(1)
and (2) set forth the requirements for
handwritten signatures and Ssignatures, respectively. An S-signature
is a signature that is inserted between
forward slash marks by the signer and
is not a handwritten signature. An S-
VerDate Sep<11>2014
17:20 Mar 21, 2024
Jkt 262001
signature must consist only of letters, or
Arabic numerals, or both, with
appropriate spaces and commas,
periods, apostrophes, or hyphens for
punctuation, and the signer’s name
must be printed or typed, preferably
immediately below or adjacent to the Ssignature. Section 1.4(d)(3) provides for
a graphic representation of a
handwritten signature or an S-signature
for correspondence submitted
electronically via the USPTO patent
electronic filing system. The USPTO has
been accepting certain electronic
signatures as graphic representations
pursuant to § 1.4(d)(3), if the
correspondence was submitted via the
USPTO patent electronic filing system.
The signer must personally make their
own signature, regardless of what type
of signature is used.
Prior to the effective date of this final
rule, the USPTO did not permit patent
correspondence to be electronically
signed by methods other than the
electronic entry of S-signatures under
§ 1.4(d)(2) and the graphic
representation method of § 1.4(d)(3).
Furthermore, it only permitted the
graphic representation method of
§ 1.4(d)(3) if the correspondence was
being submitted via the USPTO patent
electronic filing system. In recent years,
however, other methods of electronic
signature, such as methods using thirdparty software, have become more
prevalent, reliable, and secure. For
example, some software platforms
include document-signing features with
digital certificates or authenticity trails
for the electronic signatures, resulting in
the increased reliability and security of
electronically generated signatures.
To simplify and streamline the
USPTO’s processes for patent applicants
and owners, practitioners, and other
parties who sign patent-related
correspondence and to more closely
align the signature requirements for
patent and trademark correspondence,
the USPTO is adding § 1.4(d)(4) as a
new rule to provide an additional
option for electronic signatures in
patent correspondence. In addition, this
new rule is aimed at addressing
stakeholder input received, including
during multilateral forums such as IP5
and Trilateral, and is directed towards
increasing harmonization of practices
and procedures amongst intellectual
property offices globally. More
information about the IP5 and Trilateral
forums is available at www.uspto.gov/ippolicy/patent-policy/ip5 and
www.uspto.gov/ip-policy/patent-policy/
patent-trilateral-activities.
Under this new rule, ‘‘the person
named as the signer’’ may sign patent
correspondence electronically using any
PO 00000
Frm 00019
Fmt 4700
Sfmt 4700
20321
form of electronic signature specified by
the Director. Moreover, the electronic
signature under newly added § 1.4(d)(4)
may be used whether the
correspondence is being submitted via
the USPTO patent electronic filing
system, mailed, faxed, or hand
delivered. At this time, the electronic
signatures specified by the Director in
newly added § 1.4(d)(4) consist of
electronic signatures generated via
third-party document-signing software
that meet the requirements outlined in
section II of this preamble. Signatures
created using other types of software,
such as graphic editing software, are not
acceptable under newly added
§ 1.4(d)(4).
II. Requirements for Additional
Electronic Signatures
Subsection II(A) provides the
requirements for third-party documentsigning software, and subsection II(B)
provides the USPTO procedures for
determining whether electronically
signed patent correspondence complies
with newly added § 1.4(d)(4). Taken
together, the subsections set out when
patent correspondence signed using
third-party document-signing software
may be accepted under newly added
§ 1.4(d)(4). The final rule does not
change any other requirements for
signatures on patent correspondence,
including that a signature must be
personally inserted or generated by the
named signer. Another person may not
use document-signing software to create
or generate the electronic signature of
the named signer. The final rule also
does not change which USPTO
personnel have the responsibility for
reviewing signatures on patent
correspondence. This final rule is
effective on publication and supersedes
any previous USPTO guidance on this
topic to the extent there are any
conflicts.
A. Requirements for Third-Party
Document-Signing Software
Parties using third-party documentsigning software must ensure that the
underlying software meets the following
requirements:
(1) The software must be specifically
designed to generate an electronic
signature and preserve signature data for
later inspection in the form of a digital
certificate, token, or audit trail. USPTO
personnel may presume that the
document-signing software preserves
signature data for later inspection in the
required form, unless the Office of the
Deputy Commissioner for Patents
(Legal) notifies USPTO personnel
otherwise.

Regulatory Evaluation
This regulation involves a foreign affairs function of the United
States and therefore, Executive Order 12866 does not apply and
evaluation under the Department of Transportation's Regulatory Policies
and Procedures is not required.
Regulatory Flexibility Act Determination
I certify that this regulation will not have a significant economic
impact on a substantial number of small entities. The St. Lawrence
Seaway Regulations and Rules primarily relate to commercial users of
the Seaway, the vast majority of whom are foreign vessel operators.
Therefore, any resulting costs will be borne mostly by foreign vessels.
Environmental Impact
This regulation does not require an environmental impact statement
under the National Environmental Policy Act (49 U.S.C. 4321, et seq.)
because it is not a major Federal action significantly affecting the
quality of the human environment.
Federalism
The Corporation has analyzed this rule under the principles and
criteria in Executive Order 13132, dated August 4, 1999, and has
determined that this proposal does not have sufficient federalism
implications to warrant a Federalism Assessment.
Unfunded Mandates
The Corporation has analyzed this rule under Title II of the
Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995 (Pub. L. 104-4, 109 Stat. 48) and
determined that it does not impose unfunded mandates on State, local,
and tribal governments and the private sector requiring a written
statement of economic and regulatory alternatives.
