TIP
Form numbers indicate the chapters in which the forms are discussed; for example, Form 10-7
is discussed in Chapter 10. Some of these forms differ from the corresponding PTO versions due to the
fact that I have simplified them and added warnings. However, both versions are perfectly acceptable.
The PTO forms also have a Burden-Hour Statement, which you need not include on any forms you
send to the PTO. The tear-out versions of these forms are 8" wide but may be used for PTO purposes
if you copy them on to 8.5"-wide paper. (Place a white backing over the form to avoid a black edge on
the side.) All papers submitted to the PTO should have writing on one side of the sheet only.
