OMB Clearance and PRA Burden Statement for PTOL-85 Part B
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 information collected by PTOL-85 Part B is required by 37 CFR 1.311. The information is required to obtain or retain a benefit by the public
which is to file (and by the USPTO to process) an application. Confidentiality is governed by 35 U.S.C. 122 and 37 CFR 1.14. This collection is
estimated to take 30.3 minutes to complete, including gathering, preparing, and submitting the completed application form to the USPTO. Time
will vary depending upon the individual case. Any comments on the amount of time you require to complete this form and/or suggestions for
reducing this burden, should be sent to the Chief Information Officer, U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, U.S. Department of Commerce, P.O. Box
1450, Alexandria, Virginia 22313-1450. DO NOT SEND FEES OR COMPLETED FORMS TO THIS ADDRESS. SEND TO: Commissioner for Patents, P.O.
Box 1450, Alexandria, Virginia 22313-1450. 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.
