A USPTO staff member has reviewed your trademark document and issued an Office action or notice. You may be required to respond to this Office action or notice. Follow the steps below.

Your response must be received by the USPTO on or before 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time of the last day of the response period.

GENERAL GUIDANCE

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

Update your correspondence email address to ensure you receive important USPTO notices about your application or registration.

Beware of trademark-related scams. Protect yourself from people and companies that may try to take financial advantage of you. Private companies may call you and pretend to be the USPTO or may send you communications that resemble official USPTO documents to trick you. We will never request your credit card number or social security number over the phone. And all official USPTO correspondence will only be emailed from the domain "@uspto.gov." Verify the correspondence originated from us by using your application serial number or registration number in our database, TSDR, to confirm that it appears under the "Documents" tab, or contact the Trademark Assistance Center.

Hiring a U.S.-licensed attorney. If you do not have an attorney and are not required to have one under the trademark rules, we encourage you to hire a U.S.-licensed attorney specializing in trademark law to help guide you through the registration or registration maintenance process.
