WARNING:

Petitioner/applicant is cautioned to avoid submitting personal information in documents filed in a patent
application that may contribute to identity theft. Personal information such as social security numbers,
bank account numbers, or credit card numbers (other than a check or credit card authorization form
PTO-2038 submitted for payment purposes) is never required by the USPTO to support a petition or an
application. If this type of personal information is included in documents submitted to the USPTO,
petitioners/applicants should consider redacting such personal information from the documents before
submitting them to the USPTO. Petitioner/applicant is advised that the record of a patent application is
available to the public after publication of the application (unless a non-publication request in
compliance with 37 CFR 1.213(a) is made in the application) or issuance of a patent. Furthermore, the
record from an abandoned application may also be available to the public if the application is
referenced in a published application or an issued patent (see 37 CFR 1.14). Checks and credit card
authorization forms PTO-2038 submitted for payment purposes are not retained in the application file
and therefore are not publicly available.

Privacy Act Statement
The Privacy Act of 1974 (P.L. 93-579) requires that you be given certain information in connection with your
submission of the attached form related to a patent application or patent. Accordingly, pursuant to the requirements of
the Act, please be advised that: (1) the general authority for the collection of this information is 35 U.S.C. 2(b)(2); (2)
furnishing of the information solicited is voluntary; and (3) the principal purpose for which the information is used by the
U.S. Patent and Trademark Office is to process and/or examine your submission related to a patent application or
patent. If you do not furnish the requested information, the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office may not be able to
process and/or examine your submission, which may result in termination of proceedings or abandonment of the
application or expiration of the patent.
The information provided by you in this form will be subject to the following routine uses:
1. The information on this form will be treated confidentially to the extent allowed under the Freedom of Information
Act (5 U.S.C. 552) and the Privacy Act (5 U.S.C 552a). Records from this system of records may be disclosed to
