[Docket No. PTO-T-2016-0005]
RIN 0651-AD08
Trademark Fee Adjustment; Correction
AGENCY: United States Patent and Trademark Office, Commerce.
ACTION: Final rule; correction.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: This document contains corrections to tables included in the
preamble of the final rule implementing changes to trademark fees
published in the Federal Register of Friday, October 21, 2016.
DATES: This rule is effective on January 14, 2017.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Catherine Cain, Office of the Deputy
Commissioner for Trademark Examination Policy, by email at
[email protected], or by telephone at (571) 272-8946.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Need for Correction: As published, the regulatory and explanatory
text in the final rule implementing changes to trademark fees (81 FR
72694; October 21, 2016) are correct. However, certain tables included
in the preamble contain minor errors. In the tables entitled ``Fees for
Paper Filings'' and ``New Fees for Extensions of Time at the TTAB,''
the descriptions for certain fees listed were mistakenly transposed. In
the table entitled ``Other Trademark-Processing Fees [Extension of time
to file a statement of use],'' a CFR citation contained a typographical
error. Good cause exists to issue this rule without prior notice and
opportunity for comment as the corrections are non-substantive and are
being implemented to avoid inconsistencies and any confusion that may
occur when comparing the items in the tables with the regulatory text.
The USPTO corrects the errors as discussed below.
In FR Doc. 2016-25506, appearing on page 72694 in the Federal
Register of Friday, October 21, 2016, make the following corrections:
1. On page 72697, in the table entitled ``Fees for Paper Filings,''

read ``Filing a Request for an Extension of Time to File a Notice of
Opposition under Sec. 2.102(c)(1)(ii) or (c)(2) on Paper,'' and
b. In the entry for 2.6(a)(23)(i), the Description is corrected to
read ``Filing a Request for an Extension of Time to File a Notice of
Opposition under Sec. 2.102(c)(3) on Paper.''
2. On page 72700, the table entitled ``Other Trademark-Processing
Fees [Extension of time to file a statement of use]'' is corrected to
