Secure Filing with Auto-Grant. Filing an ePetition via EFS-Web automates the petition
process and allows petitioners to directly input the requisite information into a secure Web
interface and immediately receive an ePetition decision.
Saves Time when Immediate Petition Decisions are Important. Time savings using
ePetitions is especially advantageous for critical petitions where an automatic petition grant
would reduce delays in restoration of patent rights, expedite withdrawal from representation
and redirect Office correspondence to the new correspondence address, and initiate the
revival of an abandoned application to save patent term adjustment time.

For questions regarding Patent e-Filing, or to suggest improvements to the online system, please send an email to
[email protected] or call the Patent Electronic Business Center at 1-866-217-9197 (toll free) or 571-272-4100 from 6 a.m. to 12
Midnight Eastern Time, Monday - Friday.

OMB Clearance and PRA Burden Statement

Page 1 of 1

United States Patent and Trademark Office

OMB Clearance and PRA Burden Statement
The Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) of 1995 requires Federal agencies to obtain Office of Management and Budget approval
before requesting most types of information from the public. When OMB approves an agency request to collect information
from the public, OMB (i) provides a valid OMB Control Number and expiration date for the agency to display on the instrument
that will be used to collect the information and (ii) requires the agency to inform the public about the OMB Control Number’s
legal significance in accordance with 5 CFR 1320.5(b).
The Office has requested and obtained OMB approvals for information it collects through the EFS-Web screens. Valid OMB
control numbers and expiration dates, as well as PRA burden statements and information about the OMB Control Numbers’
legal significance, for each of the PDF-based ePetitions submitted through EFS-Web are displayed directly on the
corresponding PDF-based ePetition forms. However, EFS-Web based ePetitions submitted through EFS-Web do not have a
corresponding PDF-based ePetition form on which the required information can be displayed. The following information is thus
provided for the EFS-Web based ePetitions submitted through EFS-Web.
For the EFS-Web based ePetition titled “Request for Withdrawal as Attorney or Agent of Record (37 CFR 1.36),” the OMB
Control Number is 0651-0035, and OMB’s current approval is valid through November 30, 2011. The information being
collected is required for the public to obtain or retain the benefit provided for in 37 CFR 1.36. The collection of information is
estimated to take 12 minutes to complete, including gathering, preparing, and submitting the information to the USPTO.
For the EFS-Web based ePetitions titled “Petition to Withdraw from Issue After Payment of the Issue Fee (37 CFR 1.313(c)(1)
or (2)),” “Petition to Withdraw from Issue After Payment of the Issue Fee (37 CFR 1.313(c)(1) or (2) with Assigned Patent
Number),” “Petition to Withdraw from Issue After Payment of the Issue Fee (37 CFR 1.313(c)(3)),”and “Petition to Withdraw
from Issue After Payment of the Issue Fee (37 CFR 1.313(c)(3) with Assigned Patent Number),”, the OMB Control Number is
0651-0059, and OMB’s current approval is valid through July 31, 2014. The information being collected is required for the
public to obtain or retain the benefit provided for in 37 CFR 1.313. The collection of information is estimated to take 1 hour to
complete, including gathering, preparing, and submitting the information to the USPTO.
For the EFS-Web based ePetitions titled “Petition to Accept Late Payment of Issue Fee - Unintentional Late Payment (37 CFR
1.137(b)),” “Petition for Revival of an Application based on Failure to Notify the Office of a Foreign or International Filing (37
CFR 1.137(f)),” and “Petition for Revival of an Application for Continuity Purposes Only (37 CFR 1.137(b)),” the OMB Control
Number is 0651-0031, and OMB’s current approval is valid through July 31, 2012. The information being collected is required
for the public to obtain or retain the benefit provided for in 37 CFR 1.137. The collection of information is estimated to take 1.0
hour to complete, including gathering, preparing, and submitting the information to the USPTO.
Under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, no persons are required to respond to a collection of information unless it
displays a valid OMB control number. The confidentiality of all information collected is governed by 35 U.S.C. 122 and
37 CFR 1.11 and 1.14. Although estimates have been provided for the time to complete each form, time will vary depending
upon the individual case. Any comments on the amount of time required to submit the information being collected and/or
suggestions for reducing the burden of providing the requested information, should be sent to the Chief Information Officer,
U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, U.S. Department of Commerce, P.O. Box 1450, Alexandria, VA 22313-1450.
