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 that use, or intend to use, such marks in commerce may file an application to register their marks with the USPTO. They can also submit various communications concerning their pending applications or registered trademarks. In the majority of cases, individuals and businesses retain attorneys to handle these matters. This collection provides for the various activities related to the appointment and retention of attorneys of record or domestic representatives. The information in this collection can be submitted in paper format or electronically through the Trademark Electronic Application System (TEAS). In addition to the original TEAS forms, the USPTO has a TEAS Global Form format that permits the agency to collect information electronically when a TEAS form with dedicated data fields is not available.

Miscellaneous Actions
The USPTO has concluded, with agreement from OMB , that change of address forms are exempt from the PRA under section 5 CRF 1320.3. Therefore USPTO is removing both the change of owner's and the change of domestic representative's address forms filed both through paper and TEAS from this collection, as address changes are considered exempt from the paperwork reduction act provisions.
