ADVISORY: CLAIMED PENDING APPLICATIONS WILL NOT PRINT

 

Applicant has claimed ownership of several pending applications.  Only claims of ownership of relevant, active registrations are printed on the registration certificate.  See 37 C.F.R. §2.36; TMEP §812.  Therefore, applicant’s claim of ownership of the pending applications will not be printed.  However, if the claimed pending applications mature into registrations, and if applicant wants to claim ownership of the registrations, applicant must provide a claim of ownership with the registration numbers.

Direct questions about navigating USPTO electronic forms, the USPTO website, the application process, the status of your application, and/or whether there are outstanding deadlines or documents related to your file to the Trademark Assistance Center (TAC).

 

 

 

GENERAL GUIDANCE

·         Check the status of your application periodically in the Trademark Status & Document Retrieval (TSDR) database to avoid missing critical deadlines.

 

·         Update your correspondence email address, if needed, to ensure you receive important USPTO notices about your application.

 

·         Beware of misleading notices sent by private companies about your application.  Private companies not associated with the USPTO use public information available in trademark registrations to mail and email trademark-related offers and notices – most of which require fees.  All official USPTO correspondence will only be emailed from the domain “@uspto.gov.”
