Short Statement: This information collection currently has 79,000 responses, 18,311 burden hours, and $2,740,891 in annualized costs. For the renewal, the USPTO estimates that the responses and burden hours will decrease by 7,257 responses and 3,888 burden hours per year. These decreases are due to administrative adjustments resulting from an overall estimated reduction in the number of filings for the collection, coupled with re-estimated completion times for the petitions to cancel and notices of opposition. The USPTO also estimates that the annualized (non-hour) costs will decrease by $609,687. This decrease is mainly due to administrative adjustments resulting from the estimated reduction in filings, but is also due to a program change resulting from the removal of recordkeeping costs from the collection. The USPTO estimates that the overall reduction in filings will reduce the postage costs and filing fees for this collection. The USPTO estimates that this renewal will have 71,743 responses, 14,423 burden hours, and $2,131,205 in annualized (non-hour) costs.
