                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,

                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.
