DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE 

Patent and Trademark Office 

[Docket No.: PTO–P–2007–0049] 

Change in Publication Format of 

Patent and Trademark Office Notices 

and Changes in Display of Patent and 

Trademark Office Notices in Electronic 

Official Gazette 

AGENCY: United States Patent and 

Trademark Office, Commerce. 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: The United States Patent and 

Trademark Office (USPTO) is 

discontinuing the separate weekly 

publication in paper form of Patent and 

Trademark Office notices, and the 

annual publication in paper form of the 

consolidated listing of notices 

pertaining to USPTO practices and 

procedures. In addition, notice is hereby 

given that the weekly electronic Official 

Gazette of the United States Patent and 

Trademark Office—Patents (the eOG:P) 

will display the Patent and Trademark 

Office notices with volume/page 

numbers, and the last weekly eOG:P of 

each calendar year will include the 

annual publication of consolidated 

notices pertaining to USPTO practices 

and procedures. 

DATES: The last separate weekly 

publication in paper form of Patent and 

Trademark Office notices will be 

December 25, 2007. The last annual 

publication in paper form of the 

consolidated listing of notices 

pertaining to USPTO practices and 

procedures will be December 25, 2007. 

Volume/page numbers will be displayed 

in the notices in the weekly eOG:P

annual publication in the eOG:P of the 

consolidated notices pertaining to 

USPTO practices and procedures will be

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In 

accordance with 35 U.S.C. 10 and the 

Presidential E-Government Initiatives to 

utilize technology in ways that will 

improve how Federal Agencies serve the 

public, the USPTO will begin 

electronically publishing the weekly 

Patent and Trademark Office notices in 

2008. The separate weekly publication 

in paper form of the Patent and 

Trademark Office notices will be 

discontinued after December 25, 2007. 

In the period since the last paper 

version of the weekly Official Gazette on 

September 24, 2002, the separate weekly 

paper publication of the notices has 

shown the notices with volume/page 

numbers while the display of the 

notices in the weekly eOG:P has not. 

Beginning January 1, 2008, the volume/ 

page numbers that have been shown in 

the separate weekly paper publication of 

the notices will be carried forward to 

the notices as they are displayed in the 

weekly eOG:P. The presence of volume/ 

page numbers in the notices as they are 

displayed in the weekly eOG:P will 

enhance the readability of the electronic 

notices and will facilitate citations of 

them. 

As with the weekly Patent and 

Trademark Office notices, the annual 

publication of the consolidated listing of 

notices pertaining to USPTO practices 

and procedures will occur 

electronically, not in paper, beginning 

in 2008. The last listing of consolidated 

notices in paper form will be published 

December 25, 2007. Thereafter the last 

weekly eOG:P of each calendar year will 

include the consolidated listing of 

notices pertaining to USPTO practices 

and procedures. The first such annual 

publication of the consolidated notices 

in the eOG:P will take place December 

30, 2008. 

The eOG:P displaying the weekly 

notices with volume/page numbers will 

be available on the USPTO Web site at 

http://www.uspto.gov/web/patents/ 

patog each Tuesday beginning January 

1, 2008. 

The first annual publication in the 

eOG:P of the consolidated notices 

pertaining to USPTO practices and 

procedures will be available on the 

USPTO Web site at http:// 

www.uspto.gov/web/patents/patog on 

December 30, 2008. 

The eOG:P on CD–ROM with the 

above-described changes will be 

published and distributed close to issue 

date. The eOG:P CD-ROM product with 

the above-described changes will be 

available from the Information Products 

Division, Chief Information Officer, 

United States Patent and Trademark 

Office, as an annual subscription for 

$460 per year and as single copies for 

$20 per issue.
