Attached below is the membership form, which can be printed out and completed, for joining the Patent and Trademark Office Society.

To join the PTOS via the payroll deduction method, please complete the upper section (below the Privacy Act Statement) and Section B which authorizes the deduction to be taken from your paycheck. To join the PTOS by paying the dues yearly by check, please complete only the upper section (below the Privacy Act Statement) and mark thru Section B, if you wish. Completion of this form by those individuals paying dues yearly by check does not authorize payroll deductions, unless specified otherwise by the individual.

This form must be unaltered and, if appropriate, signed by the individual applying for membership. The form can be returned to the Membership Committee via any representative or Board member OR to the Membership Committee directly. The form also must be submitted to the Membership Committee for proper processing. Any questions can be directed to the Membership Committee Chairperson.

Cancellation of membership in the Patent and Trademark Office Society can only be done by the member in writing and can only be authorized on the anniversary date of enrollment within the PTOS, which is one calendar year from the date of enrollment. Any questions regarding this can be directed to the Membership Committee Chairperson.
