Responding to Office Actions
Not all trademark applications go smoothly. The USPTO will send out an Office Action notice if there are any issues with a trademark application. However, the intensity of these notices may vary. In some cases, USPTO simply wants additional information or clarification, whereas in other cases, they are denials. Also, Office Actions have a strict six-month deadline. Upon missing your deadline, your application will be abandoned and you’ll lose your rights and filing fee. Luckily, our registration experts are here to help.
