Short Statement: The burden changes for this collection are due to administrative adjustments. The USPTO has adjusted the estimates for annual responses and burden hours based on five years of experience with collecting information under the Madrid Protocol, resulting in a net burden increase of 339 hours for the collection. Estimates for annual cost burden have also been adjusted based on the revised estimates for the number of annual responses and updated postage costs, resulting in a net burden increase of $59,701 over the previously approved inventory in ROCIS.
