Basis Options
Alternatively, as applicant has not yet submitted the foreign registration or otherwise perfected the Section 44(e) basis, applicant can amend the application to rely solely on the Section 1 basis and request deletion of the Section 44(e) basis.
Unless applicant indicates otherwise, the USPTO will presume that applicant is relying on both Sections 1(b) and 44(e). Thus, although the mark may be approved for publication, it will not register until an acceptable allegation of use has been filed for the goods and/or services based on Section 1(b).
