Changes to Representation of Others Before the United States
Patent and Trademark Office; Correction
AGENCY: United States Patent and Trademark Office, Commerce.
ACTION: Final rule; correction.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO or
Office) is correcting an earlier final rule, ``Changes to the
Representation of Others Before the United States Patent and Trademark
Office,'' that appeared in the Federal Register on May 26, 2021 and
which takes effect on June 25, 2021. This document corrects a minor
error. No other changes are being made to the underlying final rule.
DATES: This rule is effective June 25, 2021.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: William R. Covey, Deputy General
Counsel for Enrollment and Discipline and Director of the Office of
Enrollment and Discipline, at 571-272-4097.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This document corrects an error pertaining
to revisions to definitions made in the final rule. Specifically, the
Office intended to change the listed definition of ``Roster'' to
``Roster or register.'' The Code of Federal Regulations editors
informed the Office that the original Federal Register instruction to
``revise'' the definition was incorrect. Rather, the correct
instruction should be to ``remove and add'' the intended definition.
This document corrects that instruction.
In FR Doc. 2021-10528, appearing on page 28442 in the Federal
Register of Wednesday, May 26, 2021, the following correction is made:
Sec. 11.1 [Corrected]
0
On page 28452, in the first column, in part 11, correct amendatory
instruction 4 to read as follows:
0
4. Amend Sec. 11.1 by:
0
a. Revising the definitions of ``Conviction or convicted'' and
``Practitioner;''
0
b. Removing the entry for ``Roster'' and adding, in alphabetical order,
an entry for ``Roster or register;'' and
0
c. Revising the definitions for ``Serious crime'' and ``State.''
The revisions and addition read as follows:
Andrew Hirshfeld,
Commissioner for Patents, Performing the Functions and Duties of the
Under Secretary of Commerce for Intellectual Property and Director of
the United States Patent and Trademark Office.
