Estimated Total Annual Non-hour 

Respondent Cost Burden: $48,239 per 

year. There are no maintenance, 

operation, capital start-up, or 

recordkeeping costs associated with this 

information collection. However, this 

collection does have annual (non-hour) 

costs in the form of postage costs. There 

are also filing fees for the appeal briefs 

and the petitions to the chief 

administrative patent judge, but these 

fees are not included in the annual 

(non-hour) cost burden for this 

collection. These fees are covered 

instead under 0651–0072 America 

Invents Act Section 10 Patent Fee 

Adjustments. 

The briefs, petitions, and other papers 

may be submitted by mail through the 

United States Postal Service. The 

USPTO expects the items in this 

collection to be mailed by Express Mail 

using the flat rate envelope, which can 

accommodate both the varying 

submission weights of these 

submissions and the various postal 

zones. Using the Express Mail flat rate 

cost for mailing envelopes, the USPTO 

estimates that the average cost for 

sending these submissions by Express 

Mail will be $19.95 and that 

approximately 2,418 may be mailed to 

the USPTO. 

The USPTO estimates that the total 

postage cost for this collection will be 

$48,239 per year.
