SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Abstract

    The Patent Law Treaties Implementation Act of 2012 (PLTIA) amends 
the patent laws to implement the provisions of the Geneva Act of the 
Hague Agreement Concerning International Registration of Industrial 
Designs (hereinafter ``Hague Agreement'') in title 1, and the Patent 
Law Treaty (PLT) in title 2. The Hague Agreement is an international 
agreement that enables an applicant to file a single international 
design application which may have the effect of an application for 
protection for the design(s) in countries and/or intergovernmental 
organizations that are Parties to the Hague Agreement (the 
``Contracting Parties'') designated in the application. The United 
States is a Contracting Party to the Hague Agreement, which took effect 
with respect to the United States on May 13, 2015. The Hague Agreement 
is administered by the International Bureau (IB) of World Intellectual 
Property Organization (WIPO) located in Geneva, Switzerland.
    Thus, under the Hague Agreement, a U.S. applicant could file an 
international design application in English ``indirectly'' through the 
U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (``USPTO''), which will forward the 
application to the IB or ``directly'' with the IB. The industrial 
design or designs will be eligible for protection in all the 
Contracting Parties designated by the applicant.
    The IB ascertains whether the international design application 
complies with formal requirements, registers the international design 
in the International register, and publishes the international 
registration in the International Designs Bulletin. The international 
registration contains all of the data of the international application, 
any reproduction of the industrial design, date of the international 
registration, number of the international registration, and relevant 
class of the International Classification.
    The IB will provide a copy of the publication of the international 
registration to each Contracting party designated by the applicant. A 
designated Contracting Party may perform a substantive examination of 
the design application. The USPTO will perform a substantive 
examination for patentability of the international design application, 
as in the case of regular U.S. design applications.
    The Hague Agreement enables applicants from a Contracting Party to 
obtain protection of their designs with minimal formality and expense. 
Additionally, under the Hague Agreement, the international registration 
can be centrally maintained by the IB. For example, through the IB, 
applicants can record changes of their representatives or changes in 
ownership, and renew their international registration.

II. Method of Collection

    Most of the items in this collection can be submitted 
electronically through EFS-Web. The items can also be submitted by 
mail.

III. Data

    Collection Name: International Design Applications (Hague 
Agreement).
    OMB Number: 0651-0075.
    IC Instruments and Forms: WIPO DM/1.
    Type of Review: Extension of a Previously Reviewed Information 
Collection.
    Affected Public: Business or other for-profits; not-for-profit 
institutions.
    Estimated Number of Responses: 556 responses per year.
    Estimated Time per Response: The USPTO estimates that the response 
time for activities related to International Design Applications will 
take the public between approximately 15 minutes (0.25 hours) to 6 
hours to complete. (See Table 1.) This includes the time to gather the 
necessary information, create the document, and submit the completed 
request to the USPTO. The USPTO calculates that, on balance, it takes 
the same amount of time to do this, regardless of whether the public is 
submitting the information in paper form or electronically.
    Estimated Total Response Burden Hours: 1,898.00 hours.
    Estimated Total Annual Respondent (Hourly) Cost Burden: $778,180. 
The USPTO expects that an attorney will complete these applications. 
The professional hourly rate for attorneys is $410. This rate is 
established by estimates in the 2015 Report of the Economic Survey, 
published by the Committee on Economics of Legal Practice of the 
American Intellectual Property Law Association. Using this hourly rate, 
the USPTO estimates that the total respondent cost burden for this 
collection is $778,180 per year.
