ACTION: Final rule. AGENCY: The United States Patent and Trademark Office (Office or USPTO) amends its rules regarding petitions to revive an abandoned trademark application and petitions to the Director of the USPTO (Director) regarding other trademark matters and to codify USPTO practice regarding requests for reinstatement of abandoned trademark applications and cancelled or expired trademark registrations. The changes will permit the USPTO to provide more detailed procedures regarding the deadlines and requirements for requesting revival, reinstatement, or other action by the Director. These rules will thereby ensure that the public has notice of the deadlines and requirements for making such requests, facilitate the efficient and consistent processing of such requests, and promote the integrity of application/ registration information in the trademark electronic records system as an accurate reflection of the status of applications and registrations. DATES: This rule is effective on July 8, 2017. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Catherine Cain, Office of the Deputy Commissioner for Trademarks Examination Policy, by email at TMFRNotices@uspto.gov or by telephone at (571) 272–8946. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Purpose: The USPTO revises the rules in part 2 of title 37 of the Code of nlaroche on DSK30NT082PROD with RULES SUMMARY: VerDate Sep<11>2014 15:31 Jun 28, 2017 Jkt 241001 Federal Regulations to provide more detailed procedures regarding the deadlines and requirements for petitions to revive an abandoned trademark application under 37 CFR 2.66 and petitions to the Director under 37 CFR 2.146. The changes also codify USPTO practice regarding requests for reinstatement of trademark applications that were abandoned and trademark registrations that were cancelled or expired, due to Office error. By providing more detailed procedures regarding requesting revival, reinstatement, or other action by the Director, the rulemaking benefits applicants, registrants, and the public because it: (1) Promotes the integrity of application/registration information in the trademark electronic records system as an accurate reflection of the status of live applications and registrations; (2) clarifies the time periods in which applications or registrations can be revived or reinstated after abandonment or cancellation and specifies the related filing requirements; (3) clarifies the deadline for requesting that the Director take action regarding other matters; and (4) facilitates the efficient and consistent handling of such requests. The public relies on the trademark electronic records system to determine whether a chosen mark is available for use or registration. Applicants are encouraged to utilize the trademark electronic search system, which provides access to text and images of marks, to determine whether a mark in any pending application or current registration is similar to their mark and used on the same or related products or for the same or related services. The search system also indicates the status of an application or registration, that is, whether the application or registration is live or dead. A ‘‘live’’ status indicates the application or registration is active and may bar the registration of a similar mark in a new application. A ‘‘dead’’ status indicates the application has become abandoned or the registration is cancelled or expired and does not serve as a bar to registration of a similar mark in a new application unless it is restored to a live status pursuant to a corresponding rule. When a party’s search discloses a potentially confusingly similar mark, that party may incur a variety of resulting costs and burdens, such as those associated with investigating the actual use of the disclosed mark to assess any conflict, proceedings to oppose the application or cancel the registration or of the disclosed mark, civil litigation to resolve a dispute over the mark, or changing plans to avoid use of the party’s chosen mark. In order to PO 00000 Frm 00039 Fmt 4700 Sfmt 4700 29401 determine whether to undertake one or more of these actions, the party would refer to the status of the conflicting application/registration and would need to consult the relevant rule to determine whether the application or registration is within the time period in which the applicant or registrant may request revival, reinstatement, or other action by the Director. Thus, the effective notice provided by the USPTO’s records plays a critical role in a party’s decisionmaking by enabling the party to clearly distinguish between the dead marks that are no longer candidates for, or protected by, a federal registration and those that are still able to be restored to active status. If the trademark electronic records system indicates that an application or registration is dead because it is abandoned, cancelled, or expired, and there is any doubt as to whether the application or registration might be eligible for revival, reinstatement, or other action by the Director, the costs and burdens discussed above may be incurred unnecessarily. By providing more detailed procedures as to the deadlines and requirements for requesting revival, reinstatement, or other action by the Director, these rules will help the public avoid such needless costs and burdens and promote the efficient and consistent processing of such requests by the Office. Background Petition To Revive: The statutory period for responding to an examining attorney’s Office action is six months from the Office action’s date of issuance. 15 U.S.C. 1062(b); 37 CFR 2.62(a). If no response is received by the USPTO within the statutory period, and the Office action was sent to the correspondence address in the USPTO’s records, the application is then abandoned in full or in part, as appropriate. 37 CFR 2.65(a); Trademark Manual of Examining Procedure (TMEP) § 718.06. The statutory period for filing a statement of use or a request for an extension of time to file a statement of use, in response to a notice of allowance issued under section 13(b)(2) of the Trademark Act (Act), is also six months. 15 U.S.C. 1051(d)(1), (2); 37 CFR 2.88(a), 2.89(a). Thus, an application is abandoned if the applicant fails to file a statement of use or request for an extension of time to file a statement of use within the statutory period or within a previously granted extension period. 37 CFR 2.65(c), 2.88(k); TMEP § 718.04. An application is considered to be abandoned as of the day after the date E:\FR\FM\29JNR1.SGM 29JNR1
