The United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) is asking for public comments on keeping and revising an information collection related to the National Medal of Technology and Innovation Nomination Application. They aim to gather opinions on the necessity, burden, and practicality of the information being collected. The comments are meant to help improve the collection process. The USPTO expects that completing the application will take about 40 hours, and there are no associated costs for respondents.
Simple Explanation
The USPTO wants people to share their thoughts on a special application to honor inventors. They are trying to make it easier to understand and use, and they want to know if it's necessary and how much work it takes to fill out.
