Text
Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests may be submitted
by mail, email, or hand delivered to the attention of the USPTO FOIA Officer at one of the
following addresses:
By mail:
USPTO FOIA Officer
U.S. Patent and Trademark Office
P.O. Box 1450
Alexandria
Virginia22313-1450
By email:
FOIARequests@uspto.gov
By hand:
USPTO FOIA Officer
U.S. Patent and Trademark Office
Madison East Building
600 Dulany Street
Alexandria
Virginia22314
The request must be made in writing. No telephone requests
will be accepted.
An email request must state that the request is made
pursuant to FOIA and describe the records sought. Failure to do so may result in an email
not being properly identified as a FOIA request. Email submissions not considered FOIA
requests may be disregarded. The email must also include the requestor’s mailing address as
not all USPTO records are reasonably available in a format suitable for emailing. Failure
to provide a mailing address could result in a delay in processing the request.
Copies of the USPTO's final agency decisions and most
frequently requested FOIA documents are available on the USPTO website at
https://www.uspto.gov
