[Docket No. PTO–T–2012–0027]

RIN 0651–AC80

International Trademark Classification Changes

AGENCY: United States Patent and Trademark Office, Commerce. ACTION: Final rule.

SUMMARY: The United States Patent and Trademark Office (‘‘USPTO’’) issues a final rule to incorporate classification

changes adopted by the Nice Agreement Concerning the International Classification of Goods and Services for the Purposes of the Registration of Marks (‘‘Nice Agreement’’). These changes became effective January 1, 2012, and are listed in the International Classification of Goods and Services for the Purposes of the Registration of Marks (10th ed., 2011), which is published by the World Intellectual Property Organization (‘‘WIPO’’). In addition, the USPTO is amending some punctuation and grammar to conform to what appears in the Nice Agreement. DATES: This rule is effective on August 9, 2012. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Cynthia C. Lynch, Office of the Deputy Commissioner for Trademark Examination Policy, by telephone at (571) 272–8742. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The USPTO is revising 37 CFR 6.1 to incorporate classification changes and modifications that became effective January 1, 2012, as listed in the International Classification of Goods and Services for the Purposes of the Registration of Marks (10th ed., 2011), published by WIPO. These revisions have been incorporated into the Nice Agreement. As a signatory to the Nice Agreement, the United States adopts these revisions pursuant to Article 1. In addition, the USPTO is revising punctuation and grammar so that it will conform to what appears in the Nice Agreement.

The following changes are noted: Class 5 is amended to change

‘‘dietetic substances adapted for medical use,’’ to ‘‘dietetic food and substances adapted for medical use,’’ and to add ‘‘dietary supplements for humans and animals;’’ before ‘‘plasters.’’

Class 7 is amended to insert ‘‘automatic vending machines’’ after the word ‘‘eggs.’’

Class 9 is amended to insert ‘‘compact discs, DVDs and other digital recording media;’’ after ‘‘discs;’’ and to insert ‘‘computer software;’’ after ‘‘computers.’’ ‘‘Automatic vending machines and’’ is deleted from Class 9; automatic vending machines are classified in Class 7.

Class 18 is amended to replace ‘‘umbrellas, parasols and walking sticks’’ with ‘‘umbrellas and parasols; walking sticks.’’

Class 24 is amended to replace ‘‘bed and table covers’’ with ‘‘bed covers; table covers.’’

Classes 30 and 31 are amended to reorder the manner in which the goods are listed in the class.

Class 32 is amended to replace ‘‘non- alcoholic drinks; fruit drinks’’ with

‘‘non-alcoholic beverages; fruit beverages.’’

Rulemaking Requirements

Administrative Procedure Act: The amendments in this final rule are procedural in nature as they only reorganize the international classifications of goods and services and modify the form of wording. The reorganization and modification have been established by the Committee of Experts of the Nice Union and have been promulgated in the volume entitled International Classification of Goods and Services for the Purposes of the Registration of Marks (10th ed., 2011). Therefore, prior notice and an opportunity for public comment are not required pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(A), or any other law. Furthermore, pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(B), notice and an opportunity for public comment are unnecessary since the amendments are required by the Nice Agreement, to which the United States is a signatory.

Regulatory Flexibility Act: The final rule involves rules of agency practice and procedure. As prior notice and an opportunity for public comment are not required pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 553 or any other law, the analytical requirements of the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601 et seq.) are inapplicable.

Executive Order 12866: This rule has been determined not to be significant for purposes of Executive Order 12866 (Sept. 3, 1993).

Executive Order 13563: The USPTO has complied with Executive Order 13563. Specifically, the USPTO has, to the extent feasible and applicable: (1) Made a reasoned determination that the benefits justify the costs of the rule; (2) tailored the rule to impose the least burden on society consistent with obtaining the regulatory objectives; (3) selected a regulatory approach that maximizes net benefits; (4) specified performance objectives; (5) identified and assessed available alternatives; (6) provided the public with a meaningful opportunity to participate in the regulatory process, including soliciting the views of those likely affected prior to issuing a notice of proposed rulemaking, and provided on-line access to the rulemaking docket; (7) attempted to promote coordination, simplification, and harmonization across government agencies and identified goals designed to promote innovation; (8) considered approaches that reduce burdens and maintain flexibility and freedom of choice for the public; and (9) ensured the objectivity of scientific and technological information and processes, to the extent applicable.

47529Federal Register / Vol. 77, No. 154 / Thursday, August 9, 2012 / Rules and Regulations

Executive Order 13132: This rule does not contain policies with federalism implications sufficient to warrant preparation of a Federalism Assessment under Executive Order 13132 (Aug. 4, 1999).

Congressional Review Act: Under the Congressional Review Act provisions of the Small Business Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act of 1996 (5 U.S.C. 801 et seq.), prior to issuing any final rule, the United States Patent and Trademark Office will submit a report containing the final rule and other required information to the United States Senate, the United States House of Representatives, and the Comptroller General of the Government Accountability Office. The changes in this notice are not expected to result in an annual effect on the economy of 100 million dollars or more, a major increase in costs or prices, or significant adverse effects on competition, employment, investment, productivity, innovation, or the ability of United States-based enterprises to compete with foreign- based enterprises in domestic and export markets. Therefore, this notice is not expected to result in a ‘‘major rule’’ as defined in 5 U.S.C. 804(2).

Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995: The changes set forth in this rulemaking do not involve a Federal intergovernmental mandate that will result in the expenditure by State, local, and tribal governments, in the aggregate, of 100 million dollars (as adjusted) or more in any one year, or a Federal private sector mandate that will result in the expenditure by the private sector of 100 million dollars (as adjusted) or more in any one year, and will not significantly or uniquely affect small governments. Therefore, no actions are necessary under the provisions of the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995. See 2 U.S.C. 1501 et seq.

Paperwork Reduction Act: This final rule does not involve information collection requirements which are subject to review by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.).
