Abstract: The United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) administers the Trademark Act, 15 U.S.C. 1051 et seq., which provides for the Federal registration of trademarks, service marks, collective trademarks and service marks, collective membership marks, and certification marks. Individuals and businesses that use or intend to use such marks in commerce may file an application to register their mark with the USPTO. Such individuals and businesses may also submit various communications to the USPTO during the prosecution of an application. This information collection covers the various communications that may be submitted by the applicant, including providing additional information needed to process a request to delete a particular filing basis from an application or to divide an application identifying multiple goods and/or services into two or more separate applications. This information collection also covers requests for a 6-month extension of time to file a statement that the mark is in use in commerce or petitions to revive an application that abandoned for failure to submit a timely response to an office action or a timely statement of use or extension request. This information collection also covers circumstances in which an applicant may expressly abandon an application by filing a written request for withdrawal of the application.

Short Statement: The USPTO is consolidating and streamlining its petitions and request forms to make these processes more efficient. Changes to the information systems allow the Petition to the Director to collect requests to make special, petitions to make special, requests to restore filing dates, and petitions to change filing basis, which were previously stand-alone forms, into a single petition form. However, each petition must be submitted separately, even if they use the same basic format and form request instrument (PTO-2301). As a part of this effort, the USPTO is moving four petitions (PTO-1557 (Petition to Revive With Request to Delete Section 1(b) Basis or to Delete ITU Goods/Services/Collective Membership Organizations After NOA), PTO-2194 (Petition to Revive Abandoned Application – Failure to Respond Timely to Office Action), PTO-2195 (Petition to Revive Abandoned Application – Failure to File Timely Statement of Use or Extension Request), and PTO-2301 (Petition to Director)) from information collection 0651-0054 (Substantive Submissions Made During Prosecution of the Trademark Application) to information collection 0651-0061 (Trademark Petitions). As a result, four IC lines and their associated fees will be removed from information collection 0651-0054.
