    Number of Annual Respondents: 374,972 responses.
    Average Hours per Response: The USPTO expects that it will take the 
public approximately 10 to 35 minutes (0.17 to 0.58 hours) to gather

completed request, depending upon the type of request and the method of 
submission (electronic or paper).

Individuals and businesses that use or intend to use such marks in 
commerce may file an application to register their marks with the 
USPTO. Such individuals and businesses may also submit various 
communications to the USPTO, including providing additional information 
needed to process a request to delete a particular filing basis from an 
application or to divide an application identifying multiple goods and/
or services into two or more separate applications. Applicants may seek 
a six-month extension of time to file a statement that the mark is in 
use in commerce or submit a petition to revive an application that 
abandoned for failure to submit a timely response to an Office action 
or a timely statement of use or extension request. In some 
circumstances, an applicant may expressly abandon an application by 
filing a written request for withdrawal of the application. The rules 
implementing the Trademark Act are set forth in 37 CFR part 2. The 
forms in this collection are available in electronic format through the 
Trademark Electronic Application System (TEAS).
