Deadline for responding to this notice.

The USPTO cannot accept an improperly signed response; therefore, the contents will not be reviewed. See 37 C.F.R. §2.62(b); TMEP §718.03.
Resubmit a properly signed response. Applicant must either (1) resubmit the entire response signed by a proper party and specifying the first and last name of the person who signed the response, or (2) provide an explanation of the signer’s legal authority to bind or represent applicant, including specifying the first and last name and position or title of the person who signed the response.
