Abstract The United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO), pursuant to the Trademark Act, 15 U.S.C. 1051 et seq. and Chapter 37 of the Code of Federal Regulations, issues Office Actions in which it requests that applicants for trademark registration furnish information that is required for the issuance of a registration but that was not provided with the initial submission of the application for registration. The Response to Office Action form may be used to reply to an Office Action that was issued in connection with an application for registration or after the submission of a Statement of Use. Additionally, applicants may supplement their applications by providing additional information voluntarily. When such information is provided before the USPTO has reviewed the application, the submission is in the nature of a Preliminary Amendment. The Request for Reconsideration after Final Action is filed after issuance of a final Office Action but before the deadline for filing an appeal. Filing the Request for Reconsideration early in the six-month response period can eliminate the need for some appeals or petitions and reduce the need for remands and transfers of applications on appeal.
