Federal Trade Commission May 19, 2014 – Federal Register Recent Federal Regulation Documents

The FTC proposes to collect information about Patent Assertion Entity (``PAE'') organization, structure, economic relationships, and activity, including acquisition, assertion, litigation, and licensing practices. This is the second of two Federal Register Notices required by the Paperwork Reduction Act (``PRA''). Last year, the FTC published a Federal Register Notice (``First Notice'') and received public comments on its proposal. Through this Second Notice, the Commission seeks additional public comments on, and Office of Management and Budget (``OMB'') review and approval of, the revised proposed collection of information discussed in this Notice.
