Effective June 17, 2009, trademark applicants have six months, rather than four months, to respond to examiner's reports issued during examination of trademark applications. This change does not affect examiner's reports issued before June 17, which must be answered within four months of issuance. For applicants that rely on due date docketing software, we strongly urge you to contact your provider to ensure that your systems are updated accordingly.
The content of this article is intended to provide a general guide to the subject matter. Specialist advice should be sought about your specific circumstances.
