2. Respond if required.

If you're required to respond, we must receive your response before midnight Eastern Time of the last day of the response period.

If you have questions

Beware of misleading notices sent by private companies about your registration.

These companies often have names similar to the USPTO. All official USPTO correspondence is emailed from the domain "@uspto.gov." For a current list of companies the USPTO has received complaints about, information on how to identify these offers and notices, and what to do if you receive one, see the misleading notices webpage.
