them you must install Adobe's
free Acrobat reader on your computer. NOTE: The USPTO cannot assist you with the installation and configuration of the Acrobat reader on your system and printer.

Notice regarding Section 508 of the Workforce Investment Act
of 1998: Section 508 of the Workforce
Investment Act of 1998 requires all United States Federal Agencies

To apply for a patent under 35 U.S.C. 111, transfer the ownership of a patent, or request other actions related to patents, certain information specified in the Patent Laws (Title 35, United States Code) and Rules (Title 37, Code of Federal Regulations) must be submitted to the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO). The USPTO provides patent forms to the public to use in certain situations, but, in almost all situations the USPTO does not require use of a form, or even provide a form, to submit the information required. The patent forms provided below were designed as a guide to assist patent applicants and patentees in making certain limited submissions to the USPTO. Use of the patent forms for purposes they were not designed for is not advised. The Patent Laws and Rules should be your primary guide to what information must be submitted and how it must be submitted. Any submission that meets all requirements of the Patent Laws, Rules, and Orders and Notices of the Director of the US Patent and Trademark Office, will be accepted, whether or not it is similar to any of the patent forms provided below. A submission may not be accepted, even if it is identical to a patent form provided below, if in a specified case, it does not meet all the requirements of Patent Laws, Rules, and Orders and Notices. For current fee amounts, see the appropriate sections of the Patent Rules. A surcharge will be due if the basic filing fee is not paid on filing. Other consequences may occur if the proper fees are not paid or if the required action is not taken. For general assistance in completing the patent forms below or to request paper copies of the forms, contact General Information Services Division at 1-800-786-9199 (1-800-PTO-9199) or 703-308-4357, and select option 2. |
