Grant of Interim Extension of the Term
of U.S. Patent No. 7,517,522;
Recombinant ADAMTS13
(rADAMTS13), a Recombinant A
Disintegrin and Metalloprotease With
Thrombospondin Type-1 Motifs 13
United States Patent and
Trademark Office, Department of
Commerce.
ACTION: Notice of interim patent term
extension.
AGENCY:

The United States Patent and
Trademark Office has issued an order
granting a one-year interim extension of
the term of U.S. Patent No. 7,517,522
(’522 patent).
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Ali
Salimi, Senior Legal Advisor, Office of
Patent Legal Administration, at 571–
272–0909 or ali.salimi@uspto.gov.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 35 U.S.C.
156 generally provides that the term of
a patent may be extended for a period
of up to five years, if the patent claims
a product, or a method of making or
using a product, that has been subject to
certain defined regulatory review. 35

U.S.C. 156(d)(5) generally provides that
the term of such a patent may be
extended for no more than five interim
periods of up to one year each, if the
approval phase of the regulatory review
period is reasonably expected to extend
beyond the expiration date of the patent.
On June 15, 2023, The Regents of the
University of Michigan, the owner of
record of the ’522 patent, timely filed an
application under 35 U.S.C. 156(d)(5)
for an interim extension of the term of
the ’522 patent. The ’522 patent claims
a method of using the product
recombinant ADAMTS13
(rADAMTS13), a recombinant A
disintegrin and metalloprotease with
thrombospondin type-1 motifs 13. The
application for interim patent term
extension indicates that a Biologics
License Application No. 125795/0 was
submitted to the Food and Drug
Administration (FDA) on March 17,
2023, and that the FDA’s review thereof
is ongoing.
Review of the interim patent term
extension application indicates that,
except for permission to market or use
the product commercially, the ’522
patent would be eligible for an
extension of the patent term under 35
U.S.C. 156. Because it appears the
approval phase of the regulatory review
period will continue beyond the
expiration date of the patent, i.e., June
30, 2023, interim extension of the ’522
patent’s term under 35 U.S.C. 156(d)(5)
is appropriate.
An interim extension under 35 U.S.C.
156(d)(5) of the term of U.S. Patent No.
7,517,522 is granted for a period of one
year from the original expiration date of
the ’522 patent.

notice of the proposed extension of the
currently approved collection of
information listed below. An agency
may not conduct or sponsor, and a
person is not required to respond to, a
collection of information unless it
displays a currently valid OMB control
number.
Title: Process for Review of Swaps for
Mandatory Clearing (OMB Control No.
3038–0097). This is a request for an
extension of a currently approved
information collection.
Abstract: The Commodity Exchange
Act and Commission regulations require
a derivatives clearing organization
(‘‘DCO’’) that wishes to accept a swap
for clearing to be eligible to clear the
swap and to submit the swap to the
Commission for a determination as to
whether the swap is required to be
cleared. Commission regulation 39.5
sets forth the process for these
submissions. The Commission will use
the information in this collection to
determine whether a DCO that wishes to
accept a swap for clearing is eligible to
clear the swap and whether the swap
should be required to be cleared.
With respect to the collection of
information, the CFTC invites
comments on:
• Whether the proposed collection of
information is necessary for the proper
performance of the functions of the
Commission, including whether the
information will have a practical use;
• The accuracy of the Commission’s
estimate of the burden of the proposed
collection of information, including the
validity of the methodology and
assumptions used;
• Ways to enhance the quality,
usefulness, and clarity of the
information to be collected; and
• Ways to minimize the burden of
collection of information on those who
are to respond, including through the
use of appropriate automated electronic,
mechanical, or other technological
collection techniques or other forms of
information technology; e.g., permitting
electronic submission of responses.
You should submit only information
that you wish to make available
publicly. If you wish the Commission to
consider information that you believe is
exempt from disclosure under the
Freedom of Information Act, a petition
for confidential treatment of the exempt
information may be submitted according
to the procedures established in § 145.9
of the Commission’s regulations.1
The Commission reserves the right,
but shall have no obligation, to review,
pre-screen, filter, redact, refuse or
remove any or all of your submission

from https://www.cftc.gov that it may
deem to be inappropriate for
publication, such as obscene language.
All submissions that have been redacted
or removed that contain comments on
the merits of the information collection
request will be retained in the public
comment file and will be considered as
required under the Administrative
Procedure Act and other applicable
laws, and may be accessible under the
Freedom of Information Act.
Burden Statement: The respondent
burden for this collection is estimated to
be as follows:
Respondents/Affected Entities:
Derivatives clearing organizations.
Estimated Number of Respondents:
15.
Estimated Average Burden Hours per
Respondent: 40 hours.
Estimated Total Annual Burden
Hours: 600 hours.
Frequency of Collection: On occasion;
a DCO is only required to make a onetime submission before it first accepts a
swap for clearing.
There are no capital costs or operating
and maintenance costs associated with
this collection.
Authority: 44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.
Dated: June 22, 2023.

Deputy Secretary of the Commission.
