Text Form for Handwritten Signature Scanning

This option uses a Text Form (available after clicking on the Validate button) that will be signed by the
proper signatory in the traditional "pen-and-ink" manner. Or, if you already have a signed declaration
for this application, you can attach it directly here, rather than relying on the USPTO's text form
version. NOTE: If you are using the Text Form approach, you must after validation save the application
data, and then pull up the saved form to attach the scanned file for final submission.
Click on the Choose File button to select file that contains the scanned declaration/signature from your
local drive. The scanned file should only include the declaration language with the appropriate signature
information (signature, signatory's name, signatory's position, and signature date). Do not include the
entire form, but do ensure that the declaration language appears; i.e., a signature by itself
is not acceptable absent the required declaration language.

NOTE: Only one signature is required, regardless of the number of owners/holders. If necessary, the
actual signatory may complete the following fields directly on the Text Form, if you do not know who will
be signing the form. If left blank, you will initially receive a WARNING message, which you can by-pass
by clicking the "Continue" button. After receipt of the signed declaration, you must then use the
information provided therein to complete the fields for "Signatory's Name" and "Signatory's Position." At
the time of final submission, these are mandatory fields, which will produce an ERROR if left blank.
