Frequently Asked Questions
What is a trademark office action?
A trademark office action is an official letter from the USPTO raising issues or objections about your trademark application. These can range from simple technical corrections to substantive refusals based on likelihood of confusion or descriptiveness.
How long do I have to respond to an office action?
For most office actions, you have 6 months from the issue date to file a response. However, it's important to begin working on the response promptly to ensure adequate time for preparation and any necessary revisions.
What happens if I don't respond to an office action?
If you fail to respond to an office action by the deadline, your trademark application will be abandoned. While there are limited options to revive an abandoned application, it's crucial to meet response deadlines.
Can I respond to an office action myself?
While you can respond to an office action yourself, it's highly recommended to work with an experienced trademark attorney. Office action responses often require complex legal arguments and evidence that can significantly impact your registration chances.
