AO 120 (Rev. 08/10), REPORT ON THE FILING OR DETERMINATION OF AN ACTION REGARDING A PATENT OR TRADEMARK. This form is used by the United States District Courts to comply with the reporting requirements of 35 U.S.C. § 290 and/or 15 U.S.C. § 1116, which requires the filing of an AO 120 form to report on the filing or determination of an action regarding a patent or trademark.

The form requires information about the case, including the names of the parties, the case number, the nature of the case, and whether it involves a patent or trademark.

The information collected on the AO 120 form is used by the Director of the Administrative Office of the United States Courts to compile statistical data about patent and trademark cases filed in the district courts. www.FormsWorkflow.com
