`
`Determination of Patent Term Adjustment under 35 U.S.C. 154 (b)
`
`
`
`
`(Applications filed on or after May 29, 2000)
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`The Office has discontinued providing a Patent Term Adjustment (PTA) calculation with the Notice of Allowance.
`
`
`
`Section l (h)(2) of the AIA Technical Corrections Act amended 35 U.S.C. 154(b)(3)(B)(i) to eliminate the
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`requirement that the Office provide a patent term adjustment determination with the notice of allowance. See
`
`
`
`
`Revisions to Patent Term Adjustment, 78 Fed. Reg. 19416, 19417 (Apr. 1, 2013). Therefore, the Office is no longer
`
`
`
`
`
`
`providing an initial patent term adjustment determination with the notice of allowance. The Office will continue to
`
`
`
`
`
`provide a patent term adjustment determination with the Issue Notification Letter that is mailed to applicant
`
`
`
`
`
`
`approximately three weeks prior to the issue date of the patent, and will include the patent term adjustment on the
`
`
`
`
`
`
`patent. Any request for reconsideration of the patent term adjustment determination ( or reinstatement of patent term
`
`
`
`
`adjustment) should follow the process outlined in 37 CPR 1.705.
`
`Any questions regarding the Patent Term Extension or Adjustment determination should be directed to the Office of
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`Patent Legal Administration at (571)-272-7702. Questions relating to issue and publication fee payments should be
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`directed to the Customer Service Center of the Office of Patent Publication at 1-(888)-786-0101 or (571 )-272-4200.

`
`0MB Clearance
`
`and PRA Burden Statement for PTOL-85 Part B
`
`The Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) of 1995 requires Federal agencies to obtain Office of Management and
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`Budget approval before requesting most types of information from the public. When 0MB approves an agency
`
`
`
`
`
`
`request to collect information from the public, 0MB (i) provides a valid 0MB Control Number and expiration
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`date for the agency to display on the instrument that will be used to collect the information and (ii) requires the
`
`
`
`
`
`agency to inform the public about the 0MB Control Number's legal significance in accordance with 5 CFR
`1320.5(b).
`
`The information collected by PTOL-85 Part B is required by 37 CFR 1.311. The information is required to obtain
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`or retain a benefit by the public which is to file (and by the USPTO to process) an application. Confidentiality is
`
`
`
`
`
`governed by 35 U.S.C. 122 and 37 CFR 1.14. This collection is estimated to take 12 minutes to complete,
`
`
`
`
`
`including gathering, preparing, and submitting the completed application form to the USPTO. Time will vary
`
`
`
`
`
`depending upon the individual case. Any comments on the amount of time you require to complete this form
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`and/or suggestions for reducing this burden, should be sent to the Chief Information Officer, U.S. Patent and
`
`
`
`
`
`
`Trademark Office, U.S. Department of Commerce, P.O. Box 1450, Alexandria, Virginia 22313-1450. DO NOT
`
`
`SEND FEES OR COMPLETED FORMS TO THIS ADDRESS. SEND TO: Commissioner for Patents, P.O. Box
`
`
`
`
`
`
`1450, Alexandria, Virginia 22313-1450. Under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, no persons are required to
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`respond to a collection of information unless it displays a valid 0MB control number.
