WHAT HAPPENS NEXT:  The registration process starts once the trademark examining attorney issues an examiner’s amendment, and the mark is approved for registration on the Supplemental Register.  When the mark is approved, the USPTO’s database will show the mark has been “Allowed for Supplemental Registration.”  The Supplemental Register is an alternative register to the Principal Register, which is intended for designations that are not yet trademarks but are capable of someday becoming a trademark and registering on the Principal Register.  Marks approved for registration on the Supplemental Register are registered on the date they publish in the USPTO’s Trademark Official Gazette, a weekly online publication.  The USPTO publishes applicant’s mark and thus registers it within approximately two months from the date the trademark examining attorney approved the mark for registration; the certificate is normally mailed on the publication date. 

PERIODICALLY CHECK THE STATUS OF THE APPLICATION:  To ensure that applicant does not miss crucial deadlines or official notices, check the status of the application every three to four months using the Trademark Status and Document Retrieval (TSDR) system at http://tsdr.gov.uspto.report/.  Please keep a copy of the TSDR status screen.  If the status shows no change for more than six months, contact the Trademark Assistance Center by e-mail at TrademarkAssistanceCenter@uspto.gov or call 1-800-786-9199.  For more information on checking status, see http://www.gov.uspto.report/trademarks/process/status/.

WARNING

PRIVATE COMPANY SOLICITATIONS REGARDING YOUR APPLICATION:  Private companies not associated with the USPTO are using information provided in trademark applications to mail or e-mail trademark-related solicitations.  These companies often use names that closely resemble the USPTO and their solicitations may look like an official government document.  Many solicitations require that you pay “fees.” 

Please carefully review all correspondence you receive regarding this application to make sure that you are responding to an official document from the USPTO rather than a private company solicitation.  All official USPTO correspondence will be mailed only from the “United States Patent and Trademark Office” in Alexandria, VA; or sent by e-mail from the domain “@uspto.gov.”  For more information on how to handle private company solicitations, see http://www.gov.uspto.report/trademarks/solicitation_warnings.jsp.
