DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE 

Patent and Trademark Office 

Submission for OMB Review; 

Comment Request; ‘‘Patent and 

Trademark Resource Centers Metrics’’ 

The Department of Commerce will 

submit to the Office of Management and 

Budget (OMB) for clearance the 

following proposal for collection of 

information under the provisions of the 

Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. 

Chapter 35). 

Agency: United States Patent and 

Trademark Office, Commerce 

Title: Patent and Trademark Resource 

Centers Metrics 

OMB Control Number: 0651–0068 

Form Number(s): 

• N/A 

Type of Request: Regular 

Number of Respondents: 84 libraries, 

for 336 responses per year. 

Average Minutes per Response: 30 

minutes 

Burden Hours: 168 

Cost Burden: $0 

Needs and Uses: 

The USPTO has undertaken a 

revitalization of the Patent and 

Trademark Depository Library Program 

to reflect the new 21st Century 

electronic approach to customer 

services. As a part of this revitalization, 

the name has changed to Patent and 

Trademark Resource Center Program 

and the nationwide network of libraries 

are known as Patent and Trademark 

Resource Centers (PTRCs). In addition, 

to enable the USPTO to more effectively 

train the PTRCs and the public to better 

use the tools and data available to them 

and to ascertain what types of new and 

different services the PTRCs should 

offer, the USPTO is requiring the centers 

to provide metrics on the PTRC 

outreach services and use of the patent 

and trademark services. 

Recognition as a PTRC is authorized 

under the provisions of 35 U.S.C. 

2(a)(2), which provides that the USPTO 

shall be responsible for disseminating to 

the public information with respect to 

patents and trademarks. In order to be 

designated as a PTRC, libraries must 

fulfill the following requirements: Assist 

the public in the efficient use of patent 

and trademark information resources; 

provide free access to patent and 

trademark resources provided by the 

USPTO; provide metrics on the use of 

patent and trademark services provided 

by the member library as stipulated by 

the USPTO; provide metrics on outreach 

efforts conducted by the member library 

as stipulated by the USPTO; and send 

representatives to attend the USPTOhosted PTRC training seminars. 

Since the PTRC requirements 

stipulate that the participating libraries 

must submit information (metrics) in 

order to be designated as a PTRC, the 

USPTO is submitting this new 

information collection for review under 

the PRA. The information collected will 

enable the USPTO to more effectively 

train the PTRC staff who, in turn, 

provide assistance and training to 

public customers in the areas of patent 

and trademarks. As the PTRCs continue 

to move away from the physical 

distribution of hard copy information, 

the USPTO is interested in what types 

of new and different services the PTRC 

of the future should offer its customers. 

Collection of this information will 

enable the USPTO to more effectively 

service its current customers while 

planning for the future. 

The USPTO has developed a 

worksheet to collect the metrics 

concerning the use of the patent and 

trademark services and the public 

outreach efforts from the libraries. On 

the USPTO’s behalf, the metrics will be 

collected on a quarterly basis through a 

third-party vendor. The information will 

only be collected electronically. The 

PTRCs will be given a password to input 

their information. 

Affected Public: Not-for-profit 

institutions. 

Frequency: Annually 

Respondent’s Obligation: Mandatory

Commerce collections currently under
