If you filed your trademark application yourself but now the USPTO has issued an Office Action refusing to register your mark, let tmalaw help you navigate the minefields to secure registration.
Non-Substantive Office Actions
Non-substantive trademark Office Actions are letters issued by USPTO examining attorneys that do not necessarily refuse registration of the mark. They generally cover formalities that may be resolved quickly and inexpensively. For example, any of the following reasons may lead to a non-substantive Office Action:
- proposed amendment to the identification or classification of goods/services
- request for more information on the mark
- proposed revision to the description of a stylized design mark
- requested disclaimer of a portion of the trademark
