Responding to a USPTO Trademark Office Action
A trademark Office Action is an official communication from a USPTO examining attorney identifying a refusal, requirement or other issue concerning an application. A response should address every issue that requires a response and should be prepared against the application record, the cited legal authorities and the evidence available to the applicant.
Common issues can include likelihood-of-confusion refusals, descriptiveness, identification of goods or services, specimens, disclaimers, entity or ownership information and other application requirements. Some matters can be resolved through amendment or communication with the examining attorney; others require a substantive written legal response.
The deadline and available procedural options depend on the particular Office Action, including whether it is nonfinal or final. The Office Action itself should therefore be reviewed promptly. Our work can include identifying the issues, evaluating response options, preparing amendments or legal arguments where appropriate and filing the response through the required USPTO process.
