This collection of information is required by 35 U.S.C. Sec. 2(b)(2)(D) and 32-33. Through proposed rule RIN 0651-AC81, "Changes to Representation of Others Before the United States Patent and Trademark Office," the USPTO proposes to align the USPTO's professional responsibility rules with those of most other U.S. jurisdictions by replacing the current USPTO Code of Professional Responsibility with the new USPTO Rules of Professional Conduct. The USPTO also proposes to revise the existing procedural rules governing disciplinary investigations and proceedings. The USPTO is changing the name of the collection to Practitioner Conduct and Discipline.
