    The United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) is seeking public comments on the renewal of an information collection related to the "first inventor to file" system. Initially, comments were collected in October 2024, allowing a 60-day period, and now an additional 30 days are provided for further comments. This collection, necessary for certain patent applications filed after March 16, 2013, helps determine if the applications comply with specific patent laws changed by the America Invents Act. The review addresses the burden on the public, and public input can be submitted through the website reginfo.gov.
