United States Patent and Trademark Office OG Notices: 23 July 2002
Lack of Response to Survey by Registered Practitioners in Patent Cases Pursuant to 37 CFR 10.11(b), the Office of Enrollment and Discipline (OED) conducted a survey of the active Canadian practitioner registered under 37 CFR 10.6(c). The purpose of the survey, begun on October 13, 2001, was to ascertain whether these practitioners wish to remain on the register. OED received numerous responses. Most practitioners responding to the survey provided information that enabled OED to confirm and update records regarding the responding practitioner's address and telephone number. Other practitioners requested removal of their names from the register of attorneys and agents. Their names have been removed. It is recognized that responses have been delayed due to interruptions in United States Mail sent to the 20231 zip code since October 21, 2001. It is possible that some responses are still delayed in the mail. Nevertheless, OED must proceed on the basis of responses that have been received. As of June 28, 2002, OED did not receive any response or communication from ten practitioners. Their names and the last business addresses they provided to the Director of Enrollment and Discipline are listed below. They are given an additional 30 days to respond and provide the requested information. They are requested to complete and return a blue Data Sheet on or before July 29, 2002. Thereafter, the names of practitioners on the list below who fail to reply and give the requested information will be removed from the register, and the names of individuals so removed will be published in the Official Gazette. Upon payment of the fee set forth in 37 CFR 1.21(a)(3), the name of any individual so removed may be reinstated on the register as may be appropriate. A blue Data Sheet may be obtained by contacting LouWilda Turner or Shirley (Rasheed) Brown via mail addressed to the Mail stop OED, United States Patent and Trademark Office, P.O. Box 2327 Arlington, VA 22202-2327, or via e-mail addressed to Louwilda.Turner@uspto.gov or Shirley.Rasheed@uspto.gov. They may also be reached through the following telephone number: (703) 306-4097.
