United States Patent and Trademark Office OG Notices: 10 October 2006

                      Notice of 2007 USPTO Administered
                         Examination for Registration

   An examination for persons seeking registration before the
United States Patent and Trademark Office (Office) as patent attorneys
and agents will be held July 16, July 20 and July 30, 2007, pursuant to
35 U.S.C. Sec. 2(b)(2)(D) and 37 CFR Sec. 11.7. Monday, April 09, 2007
is the deadline for filing applications along with the appropriate
application fee and the $450.00 examination fee and all necessary
showings required by 37 CFR Sec. 11.7(a) and Sec. 11.7(b).

   The USPTO administered examination is given only at the United
States Patent and Trademark Office in Alexandria, Virginia. The USPTO
administered examination is NOT given at any other location.

   Due to limited seating and the uncertainty of the number of
persons applying to take the examination, it is possible that not
everyone will be able to take the examination on the same date.
Accordingly, the first group of approved applicants filling the
available seats will be scheduled to take the examination on Monday,
July 16, 2007. The next group of approved applicants will be scheduled
to take the examination on Friday, July 20, 2007. Applicants granted
admission will be assigned a testing date for the first available date
until all test dates are filled. The Office of Enrollment and
Discipline (OED) will notify applicants of their scheduled examination
date.

   The USPTO administered examination will use paper examination
booklets, mark-sense answer sheets, and the Manual of Patent Examining
Procedure (MPEP) furnished by the Office. For further information and
the application form, consult the General Requirements Bulletin
available on the Internet at the following Web address:
http://www.uspto.gov/web/offices/dcom/gcounsel/oed.htm. A printed copy
of the General Requirements Bulletin is available from the OED as
single copies for a prepaid fee of $15.00 per copy.

   Applications filed on or after Tuesday, April 10, 2007 will not
be considered for the July 2007 examination. A timely filed application
is one that is received in the Office on or before April 09, 2007, or
mailed on or before April 09, 2007, in full compliance with the
certificate of mailing provisions of 37 CFR Sec. 1.8, or 37 CFR Sec. 1.10.
Please consult the provisions of 37 CFR Secs. 1.8 and 1.10. A mere
postmark on an application-containing envelope is not sufficient to
meet the deadline. Inasmuch as applications must bear applicant's
original signature, 37 CFR Sec. 1.4(e), they may not be filed by
facsimile or electronically.

   Registration does not qualify one for practice before the Office in
trademark cases. Such recognition is governed by 37 CFR Sec. 10.14.

   For further information, please contact the Office of Enrollment and
Discipline by calling (571) 272-4097.
