Trademark Fee Adjustment; Correction

AGENCY: United States Patent and Trademark Office, Commerce.

ACTION: Final rule; correction.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: This document contains corrections to tables included in the 
preamble of the final rule implementing changes to trademark fees 
published in the Federal Register of Friday, October 21, 2016.

DATES: This rule is effective on January 14, 2017.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Catherine Cain, Office of the Deputy 
Commissioner for Trademark Examination Policy, by email at 
[email protected], or by telephone at (571) 272-8946.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
    Need for Correction: As published, the regulatory and explanatory 
text in the final rule implementing changes to trademark fees (81 FR 
72694; October 21, 2016) are correct. However, certain tables included 
in the preamble contain minor errors. In the tables entitled ``Fees for 
Paper Filings'' and ``New Fees for Extensions of Time at the TTAB,'' 
the descriptions for certain fees listed were mistakenly transposed. In 
the table entitled ``Other Trademark-Processing Fees [Extension of time 
to file a statement of use],'' a CFR citation contained a typographical 
error. Good cause exists to issue this rule without prior notice and 
opportunity for comment as the corrections are non-substantive and are 
being implemented to avoid inconsistencies and any confusion that may 
occur when comparing the items in the tables with the regulatory text. 
The USPTO corrects the errors as discussed below.
    In FR Doc. 2016-25506, appearing on page 72694 in the Federal 
Register of Friday, October 21, 2016, make the following corrections:
    1. On page 72697, in the table entitled ``Fees for Paper Filings,'' 
revise the following:
    a. In the entry for 2.6(a)(22)(i), the Description is corrected to 
read ``Filing a Request for an Extension of Time to File a Notice of 
Opposition under Sec.  2.102(c)(1)(ii) or (c)(2) on Paper,'' and
    b. In the entry for 2.6(a)(23)(i), the Description is corrected to 
read ``Filing a Request for an Extension of Time to File a Notice of 
Opposition under Sec.  2.102(c)(3) on Paper.''
    2. On page 72700, the table entitled ``Other Trademark-Processing 
Fees [Extension of time to file a statement of use]'' is corrected to 
read as follows:

                                         Other Trademark-Processing Fees
                                 [Extension of time to file a statement of use]
