Program 

The United States Patent and 

Trademark Office (USPTO) will submit 

the following information collection 

request to the Office of Management and 

Budget (OMB) for review and clearance 

in accordance with the Paperwork 

Reduction Act of 1995, on or after the 

date of publication of this notice. The 

USPTO invites comment on this 

information collection renewal, which 

helps the USPTO assess the impact of 

its information collection requirements 

and minimize the public’s reporting 

burden. Public comments were 

previously requested via the Federal 

Register on November 30, 2021 during 

a 60-day comment period. This notice 

allows for an additional 30 days for 

public comments. 

Agency: United States Patent and 

Trademark Office, Department of 

Commerce. 

Title: Patents for Humanity Program. 

OMB Control Number: 0651–0066. 

Needs and Uses: Since 2012, the 

United States Patent and Trademark 

Office (USPTO) has conducted the 

Patents for Humanity Program, an 

annual award program to incentivize the 

distribution of patented technologies or 

products for the purpose of addressing 

humanitarian needs. The program is 

open to any patent owners or patent 

licensees, including inventors who have 

not assigned their ownership rights to 

others, assignees, and exclusive or nonexclusive licenses. USPTO collects 

information from applicants that 

describe what actions they have taken 

with their patented technology to 

address the welfare of impoverished 

populations, or how they furthered 

research by others on technologies for 

humanitarian purposes. There are 

numerous categories of awards 

including: Medicine, Nutrition, 

Sanitation, Household Energy, and 

Living Standards. Sometimes the 

program includes additional categories 

specific for that year, for example 

COVID–19. This information collection 

covers two application forms for the 

Patents for Humanity Program. The first 

application covers the humanitarian 

uses of technologies or products, and 

the second application covers 

humanitarian research. In both, 

applicants are required to describe how 

their technology or product satisfies the 

program criteria to address 

humanitarian issues. Additionally, 

applicants must provide non-public 

contact information in order for USPTO 

to notify them about their award status. 

Applicants may optionally provide 

contact information for the public to 

reach them with any inquiries. 

Applications must be submitted via 

email and will be posted on USPTO’s 

website. Qualified judges from outside 

USPTO will review and score the 

applications. USPTO will then forward 

the top-scoring applications to 

reviewers from participating Federal 

agencies to recommend award 

recipients. Winners are invited to 

participate in an awards ceremony at 

USPTO. Those applications that are 

chosen for an award will receive a 

certificate redeemable to accelerate 

select matters before USPTO. The 

certificates can be redeemed to 

accelerate one of the following matters: 

An ex parte reexamination proceeding, 

including one appeal to the Patent Trial 

and Appeal Board (PTAB) from that 

proceeding; a patent application, 

including one appeal to the PTAB from 

that application; or an appeal to the 

PTAB of a claim twice rejected in a 

patent application or reissue application 

or finally rejected in an ex parte 

reexamination, without accelerating the 

underlying matter which generated the 

appeal. This information collection also 

covers the information gathered in 

petitions to extend an acceleration 

certificate redemption beyond 12 

months. Finally, winners are now able 

to transfer their certificates to third 

parties, including by sale, due to the 

January 2021 passage of the Patents for 

Humanity Program Improvement Act.

published notice of proposed additions 

to the Procurement List. This notice is 

published pursuant to 41 U.S.C. 8503

After consideration of the material

determined that the product(s) listed

I certify that the following action will 

not have a significant impact on a 

substantial number of small entities. 

The major factors considered for this

additional reporting, recordkeeping or 

other compliance requirements for small 

entities other than the small 

organizations that will furnish the 

product(s) to the Government. 

2. The action will result in 

authorizing small entities to furnish the 

product(s) to the Government. 

3. There are no known regulatory 

alternatives which would accomplish 

the objectives of the Javits-WagnerO’Day Act (41 U.S.C. 8501–8506) in 

connection with the product(s) 

proposed for addition to the 

Procurement List.
