This collection of information is required by the Trademark Act (Act), 15 U.S.C. § 1051 et seq., which provides for the registration of trademarks, service marks, collective trademark 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 marks with the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO). This information collection generally contains information that is not submitted with the initial trademark application but is associated with, or required for, the USPTO review of applications for registration. In some cases, the USPTO issues Office Actions to applicants who have applied to register a mark, requesting information that was not provided with the initial submission, but is required before the issuance of a registration. Also, the USPTO may determine that a mark is not entitled to registration, pursuant to one or more provisions of the Act. In such cases, the USPTO will issue an Office Action advising the applicant of the refusal to register the mark. Applicants reply to these Office Actions by providing the required information and/or by putting forth legal arguments as to why the refusal of registration should be withdrawn.

For this renewal, the USPTO estimates that the total annual responses will decrease by 78,648 (from 472,313 to 393,665) and the total burden hours will decrease by 12,668 (from 265,726 to 253,058) from the currently approved burden for this information collection. These decreases are due to expected changes in the number of respondents filling responses to office actions and other submissions associated with this information collection. Changes in Annual (Non-hour) Costs For this renewal, the USPTO estimates that the total annual (non-hour) costs will increase by $1,196 (from $98,244 to $99,440). The decline in items being mailed to the USPTO results in a decrease in postage costs associate with this information collection, however, increases in fees result in an overall slight increase in the total annual (non-hour) costs.
