This collection of information is required by the Trademark Act, 15 U.S.C. et seq., and is implemented through the Trademark rules set forth in 37 CFR Part 2. Individuals and businesses who use their marks or intend to use their marks in commerce may file an application with the USPTO to register their marks. They can also submit various communications concerning the pending application. In the majority of cases, individuals and businesses retain an attorney to handle these matters. This collection provides for the appointment of attorneys of record or domestic representatives to represent applicants in the application process, for the revocation of the appointment, for attorneys to request permission to withdraw from representation, and for changes of the owner's address.

The increase in the burden hours is due to estimated increases in the number of submissions that the USPTO expects to receive during the next three years. The increase in the annual (non-hour) costs is due to the estimated increases in submissions and an increase in the postage rates. The burden hour and annual (non-hour) cost increases are the result of administrative adjustments.
