properties (i.e. patents and trademarks),
liens, licenses, assignments of interest,
security interests, mergers, and
explanations of transactions or other
documents that record the transfer of
ownership of a particular patent or
trademark property from one party to
another. Assignments are recorded for
applications, patents, and trademark
registrations.
The USPTO administers these statutes
through 37 CFR 2.146, 2.171, and 37
CFR part 3. These regulations permit the
public, corporations, other federal
agencies, and government-owned or
government-controlled corporations to
submit patent and trademark
assignment documents and other
documents related to title transfers to
the USPTO to be recorded. In
accordance with 37 CFR 3.54, the
recording of an assignment document by
the USPTO is an administrative action
and not a determination of the validity
of the document or of the effect that the
document has on the title to an
application, patent, or trademark.
Once the assignment documents are
recorded, they are available for public
inspection. The only exceptions are
those documents that are sealed under
secrecy orders according to 37 CFR 3.58,
or related to unpublished patent
applications maintained in confidence
under 35 U.S.C. 122 and 37 CFR 1.14.
The public uses these records to
conduct ownership and chain-of-title
searches. The public may view these
records either at the USPTO Public
Search Facility or at the National
Archives and Records Administration,
depending on the date they were
recorded. The public may also search
patent and trademark assignment
information online through the USPTO
website.
This information collection covers the
recordation of patent and trademark
assignments. In order to record an
assignment, the respondent must submit
an assignment document along with the
appropriate cover sheet. The USPTO
provides two forms for this purpose, the
Recordation Form Cover Sheet—
Trademarks Only (PTO–1594), and the
Recordation Form Cover Sheet—Patents
Only (PTO–1595), which capture all of
the necessary data for accurately
recording various assignments.
Customers may submit assignments
electronically by using Assignment
Center, which is available on the
USPTO website.1 This system allows
customers to fill out the required cover
sheet information online using webbased forms and then attach the
assignment documents to be submitted
1 https://assignmentcenter.uspto.gov.

provides paper forms that may be used
to record an assignment. These forms
may be downloaded in PDF format from
the USPTO website.2
For this 30-day notice, the non-hourly
cost burdens have been adjusted, for an

economic, environmental, and social
well-being. The NMTI Nomination

The primary purpose of the meeting is

United States Department of Commerce,
will meet at the USPTO campus in
Alexandria, Virginia, on September 26,
2024.
Through a September 26, 2023,
Delegation of Authority from the
Secretary of Commerce to the Under
Secretary of Commerce for Intellectual
Property and Director of the United
States Patent and Trademark Office
(Director), the Director is responsible for
recommending to the President
prospective NMTI recipients. The NMTI
Nomination Evaluation Committee
evaluates the nominations received via
public solicitation and makes its
recommendations for the Medal to the
Director. Committee members are
distinguished experts in the fields of
science, technology, business, and
patent law. They come from both the
public and private sectors and are
appointed by the Secretary for threeyear terms.
The NMTI Nomination Evaluation
Committee was established in
accordance with the FACA. The
Committee meeting will be closed to the
public, in accordance with the FACA
and 5 U.S.C. 552b(c)(6) and (9)(B),
because the discussion of the relative
merits of the Medal nominations is
likely to disclose information of a
personal nature that, if shared widely,
would constitute an unwarranted
invasion of the personal privacy of the
nominees. Premature disclosure of the
Committee’s recommendations would
also likely significantly frustrate the
implementation of the Medal program.
Pursuant to 41 CFR 102–3.150(a)(6), you
may submit written comments to the
Committee. Please contact Linda Hosler
at linda.hosler@uspto.gov or by mail at
600 Dulany St., Alexandria, VA 22314.
Please provide your name, email, and
phone number so USPTO staff can
provide instructions on how to submit
your written comments.

Chief Financial Officer and Assistant
Secretary for Administration, United
States Department of Commerce,
formally determined on August 22,
2024, pursuant to section 1009(d) of the
FACA, that the meeting may be closed
because Committee members are
concerned with matters that are within
the purview of 5 U.S.C. 552b(c)(6) and
(9)(B). Due to the closure of this
meeting, copies of any meeting minutes
will not be available. A copy of the
