Federal Register / Vol. 84, No. 168 / Thursday, August 29, 2019 / Notices 45471 

advisory committee’s report before 

finally setting or adjusting the fees. 

Further, Congress requires the USPTO 

to publish its proposed fees and 

supporting rationale in the Federal 

Register and give the public not less 

than 45 days in which to submit 

comments on the proposed change in 

fees. Finally, Congress requires the 

USPTO to publish its final rule setting 

or adjusting fees also in the Federal 

Register. 

Presently, the USPTO is planning to 

exercise its fee-setting authority to set or 

adjust trademark fees. The USPTO will 

publish a proposed trademark fee 

schedule and related supplementary 

information for public viewing on or 

about September 9, 2019, on the USPTO 

internet website (address: 

www.uspto.gov/about-us/performanceand-planning/fee-setting-and-adjusting). 

In turn, the TPAC will hold a public 

hearing about the proposed trademark 

fee schedule on the date indicated 

herein. The USPTO will assist the TPAC 

in holding the hearing by providing 

resources to organize the hearing and by 

notifying the public about the hearing, 

such as through this notice. 

Following the TPAC public hearing, 

the USPTO will publish a Notice of 

Proposed Rulemaking in the Federal 

Register, setting forth its proposed 

trademark fees. The publication of that 

Notice will open a comment window 

through which the public may provide 

written comments directly to the 

USPTO. Additional information about 

public comment to the USPTO will be 

provided in the USPTO’s Notice of 

Proposed Rulemaking. 

Requests To Present Oral Testimony 

Interested members of the public are 

invited to testify at the TPAC hearing 

about the proposed trademark fees. 

Requests to testify should indicate the 

following: (1) The name of the person 

wishing to testify; (2) the person’s 

contact information (telephone number 

and email address); (3) the 

organization(s) the person represents, if 

any; and (4) an indication of the amount 

of time needed for the testimony. 

Requests to testify must be submitted by 

email to Anastasia Johnson at 

anastasia.johnson@uspto.gov. Based 

upon the requests received, an agenda 

for witness testimony will be sent to 

testifying requesters and posted on the 

USPTO internet website (address: 

www.uspto.gov/about-us/performanceand-planning/fee-setting-and-adjusting). 

If time permits, the TPAC may permit 

unscheduled testimony as well.
