How can I request a refund for my USPTO deposit account?
To request a refund for your USPTO deposit account, you need to follow these steps:
- Submit a written request to the USPTO Office of Finance
- Include your deposit account number and the amount to be refunded
- Provide a detailed explanation for the refund request
The MPEP states: “A refund to a deposit account may be made on request to the Office of Finance.” (MPEP 509.01)
It’s important to note that refunds are typically processed for overpayments or erroneous charges. The USPTO will review your request and determine if a refund is warranted based on the circumstances provided in your explanation.
