                Notice of Expiration of Trademark Registrations

renewed for periods of ten years from the end of the expiring period
upon payment of the prescribed fee and the filing of an acceptable

issued or renewed, or it may be done within six months after such
expiration on payment of an additional fee.
   According to the records of the Office, the trademark registrations

            Miscellaneous Changes to Trademark Rules of Practice and the
                   Rules of Practice in Filings Pursuant to the
                     Protocol Relating to the Madrid Agreement
                 Concerning the International Registration of Marks

AGENCY: United States Patent and Trademark Office, Commerce

ACTION: Final rule.

SUMMARY: The United States Patent and Trademark Office ("Office") is
revising the Trademark Rules of Practice and the Rules of Practice in
Filings Pursuant to the Protocol Relating to the Madrid Agreement
Concerning the International Registration of Marks to benefit the public
by providing greater clarity as to certain requirements relating to
representation before the Office, applications for registration,
examination procedures, amendment of applications, publication and post
publication procedures, appeals, petitions, post registration practice,
correspondence in trademark cases, classification of goods and services,
and procedures under the Madrid Protocol. For the most part, the rule
changes are intended to codify existing practice.

DATES: This rule is effective February 17, 2015.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Cynthia C. Lynch, Office of the
Deputy Commissioner for Trademark Examination Policy, by e-mail at
TMPolicy@uspto.gov, or by telephone at (571) 272-8742.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION

   Executive Summary: Purpose: The rule changes benefit the public by
providing more comprehensive and specific guidance regarding certain
requirements relating to representation before the Office, applications
for registration, examination procedures, amendment of applications,
publication and post publication procedures, appeals, petitions, post
registration practice, correspondence in trademark cases, classification of
goods and services, and procedures under the Madrid Protocol. For the most
part, the rule changes codify existing practice.

   Summary of Major Provisions: As stated above, the Office is revising
the rules in parts 2, 6, and 7 of title 37 of the Code of Federal
Regulations to codify current Office practice and provide sufficient detail
regarding miscellaneous requirements relating to representation before the
Office, applications for registration, examination procedures, amendment
of applications, publication and post publication procedures, appeals,
petitions, post registration practice, correspondence in trademark cases,
classification of goods and services, and procedures under the Madrid
Protocol.

   Costs and Benefits: This rulemaking is not economically significant
under Executive Order 12866 (Sept. 30, 1993).

   Proposed Rule and Request for Comments:

   A proposed rule was published in the Federal Register on January 23,
2014, at 79 FR 3750, and in the Official Gazette on April 8, 2014. The
Office received comments from two intellectual property organizations and
one attorney. These comments are posted on the Office's Web site at
http://www.uspto.gov/trademarks/law/FR_Comments_Misc_Changes.jsp, and are
addressed below.
 February 10, 2015 US PATENT AND TRADEMARK OFFICE 1411 OG 112  

   References below to "the Act," "the Trademark Act," or "the statute"
refer to the Trademark Act of 1946, 15 U.S.C. 1051 et seq., as amended.
References to "TMEP" or "Trademark Manual of Examining Procedure" refer to
the October 2014 edition.

Comments and Responses

   The Office received many positive comments in favor of the rule changes
and appreciates the public support. To streamline this Notice, such
comments expressing support are not individually set forth and no specific
responses to such comments are provided.

Applications for Registration

   Comment: One commenter agreed with the proposal to remove existing
§ 2.38(b), but expressed concern regarding any possible effect the rule may
have on existing registrations issued pursuant to sections 66(a) and 44(e)
of the Act that were not required to indicate if the applied-for mark was
being used by one or more related companies, rather than the applicant.
Therefore, the commenter encouraged the Office to include a statement that
registrations issued under previous versions of § 2.38(b) shall not be
vulnerable to challenge due to the omission of information concerning use
of the mark solely by related companies whose use inures to the benefit of
the applicant under section 5 of the Act.
   Response: As noted by the commenter, evidence of use of the mark in
commerce is not required for registrations issued pursuant to sections
66(a) or 44(e) of the Act. Accordingly, the requirement under current
§ 2.38(b) that an applicant indicate when the applied-for mark is not
being used by the applicant but is instead being used by one or more
related companies whose use inures to the benefit of the applicant is not
applicable to registrations issued pursuant to sections 66(a) or 44(e) of
the Act. Because such requirement did not apply to registrations issued
pursuant to sections 66(a) or 44(e) of the Act, the Office does not believe
it is necessary to include a statement regarding the omission of such
information in an application under sections 66(a) or 44(e) of the Act
under the current rule.

Examination of Application and Action by Applicants

   Comment: One commenter inquired as to whether the amendment to add new
§ 2.62(c) would affect the Office's current practice of encouraging
informal communication between applicants (or their representatives) and
examining attorneys regarding issues that are capable of resolution by
examiner's amendment, and encouraged the Office to investigate potential
means for allowing formal responses to be submitted via e-mail.
   Response: The Office continues to encourage informal communication
between applicants (or their representatives) and examining attorneys
regarding issues that are capable of resolution by examiner's amendment,
and the revision to § 2.62 in no way affects the Office's position on such
informal communications. In addition, the Office is continually
investigating alternative procedures that may assist both examining
attorneys and applicants (or their representatives) in expediting the
examination process.

   Comment: Another commenter noted that under proposed § 2.63(a)(2), if a
petition to the Director under § 2.146 is denied, the applicant is granted
six months from the "date" of the Office action that repeated the
requirement(s), or thirty days from the date of the decision on the
petition, whichever is later, to comply with the repeated requirement(s).
By contrast, the commenter noted that under proposed § 2.63(c), if a
petition to the Director under § 2.146 is denied, the applicant is granted
six months from the "date of issuance" of the Office action that repeated
the requirement(s), or made it final, or thirty days from the date of the
decision on the petition, whichever date is later, to comply with the
requirement(s). The commenter suggested that, in order to ensure clarity,
the language in proposed §§ 2.63(a)(2) and 2.63(c) be made consistent.
 February 10, 2015 US PATENT AND TRADEMARK OFFICE 1411 OG 113  

   Response: As both the applicable response deadlines after a denial of a
petition to the Director under § 2.146 and the statement that a requirement
that is the subject of a petition decided by the Director may not
subsequently be the subject of an appeal to the Trademark Trial and Appeal
Board are set out in new § 2.63(c), such information has been removed from
§ 2.63(a)(2).

Amendment of Application

   Comment: One commenter noted that a process to allow an applicant to
request an amendment not specifically listed in § 2.77(a) between the
issuance of the notice of allowance and the filing of the statement of use
should be available, but the denial of a petition because the issues
require review by the examining attorney introduces uncertainty and delay
into the process. The commenter therefore encouraged the Office to consider
adopting a process similar to the on-line process currently available to
request an amendment between publication of the application for opposition
and issuance of the notice of allowance.
   Response: Under amended § 2.77(b), if the Director determines that a
proposed post-notice of allowance and pre-statement of use amendment does
not require review by the examining attorney, the petition will be granted,
and the amendment entered into the record. If the Director determines that
the proposed post-notice of allowance and pre-statement of use amendment
requires review by the examining attorney, the petition will be denied, and
the applicant may resubmit the proposed amendment with the statement of use.
In the case of proposed amendments submitted after the issuance of the
notice of allowance but prior to the submission of a statement of use,
regardless of jurisdiction with the examining attorney, an Office action
detailing a refusal or requirement that may arise from a proposed amendment
cannot issue at that time because it would create a response deadline that
differed from the statement of use filing deadline. The complexity of
tracking these two different concurrent deadlines presents system problems
for the Office and could create confusion for applicants, examining
attorneys, and the TTAB that may lead to files being mistakenly abandoned
for failure to file a timely response or statement of use and missed
opportunities for appealing final requirements and refusals. Additionally,
because an examining attorney cannot issue a refusal or requirement after
the issuance of the notice of allowance but before the filing of the
statement of use, if the Director determined that a proposed amendment
required review by an examining attorney and granted the petition, an
applicant might mistakenly believe that the proposed amendment has been
granted because of the delay in issuing an Office action detailing the
issues with the proposed amendment until after the submission of the
statement of use. As written, proposed § 2.77(b) will expedite the entry of
acceptable amendments, facilitate clarity, and provide the applicant with
the most accurate and timely information regarding the status of a proposed
amendment.

Publication and Post Publication

   Comment: One commenter expressed its support for the proposed revision
to § 2.81(b) to remove the list of items that will be included on the
notice of allowance to allow greater flexibility in the format of the
notice of allowance for changes that may occur in conjunction with the
Office's "Trademarks Next Generation" information-technology initiative,
but encouraged the Office to seek stakeholder input before making
substantial changes to the current format of the notice of allowance.
   Response: The Office continues to welcome stakeholder input regarding
the "Trademarks Next Generation" information technology initiative and will
provide sufficient notice prior to revising forms.

Madrid Protocol

   Comment: One commenter stated the proposed amendment to
§ 7.11(a)(3)(ii) was not consistent with the Common Regulations under the
Madrid Agreement Concerning the International Registration of Marks and the
 February 10, 2015 US PATENT AND TRADEMARK OFFICE 1411 OG 114  

Protocol Relating to that Agreement (as in force on January 1, 2013)
(hereinafter "Common Regulations"), and that under the Common Regulations,
the requirement for both black-and-white and color reproductions of the
mark applies to all applications, whether filed on paper or electronically.
   Response: Based on the concern raised by the commenter about
consistency with the Common Regulations, the Office will explore the matter
further and is withdrawing the proposed amendment to § 7.11(a)(3)(ii) at
this time.

   Comment: Another commenter stated that the structure of § 7.23 should
be revisited, as the rule appears to apply only to assignments, while
Article 9 of the Madrid Protocol and Rule 25 of the Common Regulations
apply broadly to all possible ownership changes, including following the
death of the holder, judicial decisions, and mergers. In those contexts,
the requirement for a "good-faith effort" to obtain the signature of the
former owner should be revisited.
   Response: While § 7.23 refers to "assignments," both in the title and
in the body, the Office interprets this term broadly to encompass not only
assignments but also other types of conveyances, such as mergers and
court-ordered changes. This corresponds with the practice in the Office's
Assignment Recordation Branch, where the term "assignments" is used in the
title of the unit and in documentation, but is interpreted to include not
only assignments but also other types of conveyances, such as changes of
name and security interests. In order to ensure clarity, the Office has
revised § 7.23(a)(5) to indicate that, when the holder no longer exists,
the assignee does not have to make a good-faith effort to obtain the
assignor's signature.

   Comment: Another commenter stated that the amendment to § 7.23(a)(6)
does not cover all possible scenarios under which an interested party
would be qualified to request a change of ownership through the Office,
which appears contrary to Common Regulations Rules 25(1)(b) and
25(2)(a)(iv). Furthermore, the commenter alleged that § 7.23(a)(6) is
redundant and should be expunged since § 7.23(a)(4) mentions entitlement
requirements, and the Common Regulations do not impose the limitations set
forth in § 7.23(a)(6) on an assignee of an international registration to be
able to record an assignment through the Office.
   Response: While the International Bureau permits requests for changes of
ownership to be presented through the office of a contacting party, the
Office is not required to do so. The rule change broadens the ability of
U.S. trademark owners, who otherwise could not obtain the signature of the
former holder after a good-faith effort, to update ownership information
with the International Bureau. While the revised rule could not be invoked
by parties with no connection to the Office (e.g., a U.S. domestic
application/registration or request for extension of protection), those
parties have a remedy. They have the option to file a petition to the
Director and, upon a showing of extraordinary circumstances, request a
waiver of the requirements of § 7.23(a)(6). Since there are transferees who
do not qualify to invoke the amended rule, § 7.23(a)(6) is not redundant.

   Comment: One commenter addressed the proposed amendment to
§ 7.24(b)(5)(ii) to require that a request, submitted through the Office,
to record a restriction, or the release of a restriction, that is the
result of an agreement between the holder of the international registration
and the party restricting the holder's right of disposal must include a
statement indicating that, after making a good-faith effort, the signature
of the holder of the international registration could not be obtained for
the request to record the restriction, or release of the restriction, and
such statement must be signed and verified or supported by declaration
under § 2.20. The commenter noted that the proposed amendment appears to be
acceptable in so far as it purports to implement Common Regulations Rule
20(1)(b), but alleged that the current provisions of § 7.24 are not in
compliance with the Common Regulations because § 7.24(a) offers the
opportunity to record a restriction through the Office only if the party
who obtained the restriction is a national of, is domiciled in, or has a
real and effective industrial or commercial establishment in the U.S. The
 February 10, 2015 US PATENT AND TRADEMARK OFFICE 1411 OG 115  

commenter believes that Common Regulations Rule 20(1)(a) dictates that
whether or not the holder is a U.S. subject should control.
   Response: While Common Regulations Rule 20(1)(a) permits the office of
any contracting party of the holder to inform the International Bureau that
the holder's right to dispose of an international registration has been
restricted, it does not require the office of the contracting party to do
so. Accordingly, the Office is not required to inform the International
Bureau that the holder's right to dispose of an international registration
has been restricted.

   Comment: One commenter stated that the rationale for the amendment to
§ 7.24(b)(7), to indicate that a request to record a restriction, or the
release of a restriction, must include an indication that the restriction,
or the release of the restriction, of the holder's right of disposal of the
international registration applies to the designation to the U.S. or an
international registration that was originally based on a U.S. application
or registration was unclear. The commenter asked if there was a need for
equal treatment in two very distinct situations, such as restriction on the
right to dispose of an international registration having effect in the U.S.
and an international registration having no such effect, which would not be
a remedy. The commenter suggested amending § 7.24(a)(2) to refer to the
holder of the international registration instead of the party who obtained
the restriction, or deleting or amending § 7.24(b)(4).
   Response: While the International Bureau permits requests to record the
holder's right to dispose of an international registration to be presented
through an office of a contracting party, the Office is not required to do
so. The proposed rule change broadens the ability of U.S. trademark owners,
who otherwise could not obtain the signature of the holder after a
good-faith effort, to record the restriction of the right to dispose with
the International Bureau. While the proposed rule could not be invoked by
a party with no connection to the Office (e.g., U.S. domestic
application/registration or request for extension of protection), such a
party has a remedy. The party has the option to file a petition to the
Director and, upon a showing of extraordinary circumstances, request a
waiver of the requirements of § 7.24(b)(7).


Discussion of Rule Changes

Representation by Attorneys or Other Authorized Persons

Rule 2.17(d)(1)

   The Office is amending § 2.17(d)(1) to remove the reference to the
number of powers of attorney that can be filed via the Trademark Electronic
Application System ("TEAS") for existing applications or registrations that
have the identical owner and attorney. Prior to this amendment, the TEAS
Revocation of Attorney/Domestic Representative and/or Appointment of
Attorney/Domestic Representative form indicated that up to 300 applications
or registrations could be amended per request. The amendment is intended to
remove outdated information, and allows for greater flexibility for future
enhancements to TEAS.

Rule 2.19(b)

   The Office is amending § 2.19(b) to require compliance with § 11.116,
rather than § 10.40, as part 10 of this chapter has been removed and
reserved (78 FR 20180 (April 3, 2013)) and § 11.116 now sets out the
requirements for terminating representation.

Applications for Registration

Rule 2.22(a)(19)

   The Office is amending § 2.22(a)(19) to indicate that if a TEAS Plus
applicant owns one or more registrations for the same mark shown in the
 February 10, 2015 US PATENT AND TRADEMARK OFFICE 1411 OG 116  

application, and the last listed owner of the prior registration(s) differs
from the owner of the application, the application must include a claim of
ownership for the prior registration(s) in order to be entitled to the
reduced filing fee under § 2.6(a)(1)(iii). This limits the circumstances
under which a TEAS Plus applicant is required to claim ownership of a prior
registration and is consistent with the revision to the claim of ownership
requirements in § 2.36.

Rule 2.36

   The Office is amending § 2.36 to indicate that an applicant is only
required to claim ownership of prior registrations for the same or similar
marks if the owner listed in the application differs from the owner last
listed in the Office's database for such prior registrations. This is
consistent with existing practice.

Rule 2.38

   The Office is amending § 2.38(b) to remove the requirement that an
application indicate that, if the applied-for mark is not being used by the
applicant but is being used by one or more related companies whose use
inures to the benefit of the applicant under section 5 of the Act, such
fact must be indicated in the application.

   The Office is re-designating § 2.38(c) as § 2.38(b), as the requirement
in current § 2.38(b) is being removed.

Examination of Application and Action by Applicants

Rule 2.62(c)

   The Office is adding new § 2.62(c) to specify that responses to Office
actions must be filed through TEAS, transmitted by facsimile, mailed, or
delivered by hand, and that responses sent by e-mail will not be accorded
a date of receipt. This is consistent with existing practice.

Rule 2.63

   The Office is amending the title of § 2.63 from "Reexamination" to
"Action after response," as revised § 2.63 incorporates a discussion of
reexamination, the filing of petitions and appeals, and abandonments.

   The Office is amending § 2.63(a) to clarify that after submission of a
response by the applicant, the examining attorney will review all statutory
refusal(s) and/or requirement(s) in light of the response. This is
consistent with TMEP section 713.

   The Office is adding § 2.63(a)(1) to clarify that the applicant may
respond to a non-final action that maintains any requirement(s) or
substantive refusal(s) by filing a timely response to the examiner's
action. This is consistent with TMEP section 713. To ensure clarity, the
Office is adding a cross-reference to § 2.62(a).

   The Office is adding § 2.63(a)(2) to clarify that the applicant may
respond to a non-final action that maintains any requirement(s) by filing a
petition to the Director under § 2.146 if the subject matter of the
requirement(s) is appropriate for petition. This is consistent with TMEP
sections 713 and 1702. In addition, as both the applicable response
deadlines after a denial of a petition to the Director under § 2.146 and
the statement that a requirement that is the subject of a petition decided
by the Director may not subsequently be the subject of an appeal to the
TTAB are set out in new § 2.63(c), such information has been removed from
§ 2.63(a)(2).

   The Office is amending § 2.63(b) to clarify that the examining attorney
may make final a refusal or requirement upon review of a response. This
 February 10, 2015 US PATENT AND TRADEMARK OFFICE 1411 OG 117  

is consistent with current § 2.64(a) and TMEP sections 713 and 714.03. To
ensure clarity, the Office is updating the wording to remove a reference to
"request for reconsideration" because § 2.63(a) discusses responses to
non-final actions, and the Office uses "request for reconsideration" to
refer to responses after final actions.

   The Office is adding § 2.63(b)(1) to clarify that the applicant may
respond to a final action that maintains any substantive refusal(s) by
filing an appeal to the TTAB under §§ 2.141 and 2.142. This is consistent
with TMEP section 1501.01. To ensure clarity, the Office is updating the
wording to explicitly state that the applicant may additionally respond by
filing a timely request for reconsideration under § 2.63(b)(3) that seeks
to overcome any substantive refusal(s) or outstanding requirement(s)
maintained in the final action. This is consistent with TMEP section 715.03.

   The Office is adding § 2.63(b)(2) to clarify that the applicant may
respond to a final action that withdraws all substantive refusals but
maintains any requirement(s) either by filing an appeal to the TTAB under
§§ 2.141 and 2.142 or by filing a petition to the Director under § 2.146,
if the subject matter of the requirement(s) is procedural, and therefore
appropriate for petition. This is consistent with current § 2.63(b) and
TMEP sections 1501.01 and 1704. To ensure clarity, the Office is updating
the wording to explicitly state that the applicant may additionally respond
by filing a timely request for reconsideration under § 2.63(b)(3) that
seeks to comply with any outstanding requirement(s) maintained in the final
action. This is consistent with TMEP section 715.03.

   The Office is adding § 2.63(b)(3) to clarify that the applicant may file
a request for reconsideration of the final action prior to the expiration
of the time for filing an appeal to the TTAB or a petition to the Director,
and that the request does not stay or extend the time for filing an appeal
or petition. This is consistent with current § 2.64(b) and TMEP section
715.03. To ensure clarity, the Office is updating the wording to indicate
that the request for reconsideration should seek to overcome any
substantive refusal(s) and/or comply with any outstanding requirement(s),
and that the Office will enter amendments accompanying requests for
reconsideration if the amendments comply with the rules of practice and the
Act. This is consistent with TMEP sections 715.02 and 715.03. In addition,
the proposed language indicating that the request for reconsideration must
be properly signed is being removed from § 2.63(b)(3), as this requirement
is already specified in § 2.193(e)(2).

   The Office is adding § 2.63(b)(4) to clarify that the filing of a
request for reconsideration that does not result in the withdrawal of all
refusals and requirements, without the filing of a timely appeal or
petition, will result in abandonment of the application for incomplete
response. This is consistent with section 12(b) of the Act and current
§ 2.65(a).

   The Office is adding § 2.63(c) to clarify both that if a petition to the
Director under § 2.146 is denied, the applicant will have until six months
from the date of issuance of the Office action that repeated the
requirement(s), or made it final, or thirty days from the date of the
decision on the petition, whichever date is later, to comply with the
requirement(s), and that a requirement that is the subject of a petition
decided by the Director subsequently may not be the subject of an appeal to
the TTAB. This is consistent with current § 2.63(b) and TMEP sections
1501.01 and 1702.

   The Office is adding § 2.63(d) to clarify that if an amendment to allege
use is filed during the six-month response period after issuance of a final
action, the examining attorney will examine the amendment, but the filing
of the amendment does not stay or extend the time for filing an appeal to
the TTAB or a petition to the Director. This is consistent with current
§ 2.64(c)(1) and TMEP sections 711 and 1104.
 February 10, 2015 US PATENT AND TRADEMARK OFFICE 1411 OG 118  

Rule 2.64

   The Office is removing and reserving § 2.64 and is incorporating updated
final action procedures into revised § 2.63.

Rule 2.65

   The Office is amending § 2.65(a) both to clarify that an application
will be deemed abandoned if an applicant fails to respond, or respond
completely, to an Office action within six months of the issuance date, but
a timely petition to the Director or notice of appeal to the TTAB, if
appropriate, is considered to be a response that avoids abandonment, and to
revise the reference to § 2.63(b) so as to reference § 2.63(a) and (b).
The clarification is consistent with TMEP section 718.03, and the revision
to the reference accounts for the amendment to § 2.63, which sets out the
conditions for a petition under § 2.146 in § 2.63(a) and (b) instead of
only § 2.63(b). To ensure clarity, the Office is adding a cross-reference
to § 2.63(b)(4).

   The Office is adding § 2.65(a)(1) to clarify that if an applicant fails
to timely respond to an Office action, but all refusals and/or requirements
are expressly limited to certain goods and/or services, the application
will be abandoned only as to those goods and/or services. This is
consistent with current § 2.65(a) and TMEP section 718.02(a).

   The Office is adding § 2.65(a)(2) to clarify that an applicant may, in
certain situations, be granted thirty days, or to the end of the response
period set forth in the action, whichever is longer, to provide information
omitted from a response before the examining attorney considers the issue
of abandonment. In order to ensure clarity, certain wording in the rule has
been changed from passive to active voice. This is consistent with current
§ 2.65(b) and TMEP section 718.03(b).

   The Office is amending § 2.65(b) to clarify that an application will be
abandoned if an applicant expressly abandons the application pursuant to
§ 2.68. This is consistent with TMEP section 718.01.

   The Office is amending § 2.65(c) to clarify that an application under
section 1(b) of the Act will be abandoned if the applicant fails to file a
timely statement of use under § 2.88 or a request for an extension of time
for filing a statement of use under § 2.89. This is consistent with section
1(d)(4) of the Act and TMEP sections 1108.01 and 1109.04.

Rule 2.68

   The Office is amending § 2.68(a) to indicate that, consistent with
existing practice, a request for abandonment or withdrawal may not
subsequently be withdrawn. This is intended to provide applicants,
registration owners, and the public assurance of the accuracy of the status
of applications or registrations after filings are received by the Office.

   The Office is amending § 2.68(b) for clarity by moving the "in any
proceeding before the Office" clause to the end of the sentence.

Amendment of Application

Rule 2.77(b)

   The Office is amending § 2.77(b) to indicate that amendments not listed
in § 2.77(a) may be entered in the application in the time period between
issuance of the notice of allowance and submission of a statement of use
only with the express permission of the Director, after consideration on
petition under § 2.146. This is consistent with TMEP sections 1107 and
1505.01(d), which currently require a waiver of § 2.77 on petition. If the
Director determines that the amendment requires review by the examining
attorney, the petition will be denied and the amendment may be resubmitted
 February 10, 2015 US PATENT AND TRADEMARK OFFICE 1411 OG 119  

with the statement of use.

Publication and Post Publication

Rule 2.81(b)

   The Office is amending § 2.81(b) to remove the list of items that will
be included on the notice of allowance. This change will allow greater
flexibility in the format of the notice of allowance for changes that may
occur in conjunction with the Office's "Trademarks Next Generation"
information-technology initiative. As a matter of practice, at this time,
the Office plans to continue to maintain the current format of the notice
of allowance.

Rule 2.84(b)

   The Office is amending § 2.84(b) to clarify that an application that is
not the subject of an inter partes proceeding before the TTAB may be
amended after the mark has been published for opposition, but before the
certificate of registration has been issued under section 1(a), 44, or
66(a) of the Act, or before the notice of allowance has been issued in an
application under section 1(b) of the Act, if the amendment meets the
requirements of §§ 2.71, 2.72, and 2.74. This is consistent with existing
practice.

Appeals

Rule 2.142(f)

   The Office is amending § 2.142(f)(3) and (f)(6) to remove the references
to § 2.64, as the Office is removing and reserving § 2.64, with the
sections of § 2.64 relevant to § 2.142(f)(3) and (f)(6) incorporated into
revised § 2.63.

Rule 2.145(a)

   The Office is amending § 2.145(a) to add registrants who have filed an
affidavit or declaration under section 71 of the Act and are dissatisfied
with a decision of the Director to the list of parties eligible to appeal
to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit. This is consistent
with TMEP section 1613.18(d).

Rule 2.146

   The Office is amending § 2.146(a)(1) and (g) to replace references to
§ 2.63(b) with references to § 2.63(a) and (b), as the amended rules will
list conditions for a petition under § 2.146 in § 2.63(a) and (b) instead
of only § 2.63(b). In addition, in order to ensure clarity, the Office is
amending § 2.146(g) to replace a reference to § 2.65 with a reference to
§ 2.65(a).

Post Registration

Rule 2.171(b)(2)(i)

   The Office is amending § 2.171(b)(2)(i)  to clarify that when the Office
receives notification from the International Bureau of the World
Intellectual Property Organization that an international registration has
been divided due to a change in ownership with respect to some but not all
of the goods and/or services, the Office will update Office records to
reflect the change in ownership, divide out the assigned goods and/or
services from the registered extension of protection (parent registration),
and publish notice of the parent registration in the Official Gazette. The
Office does not record the partial change of ownership in the Assignment
Recordation Branch (formerly Assignment Services Branch), and only issues
an updated certificate for the parent registration to the owner upon
 February 10, 2015 US PATENT AND TRADEMARK OFFICE 1411 OG 120  

payment of the fee required by § 2.6. This is consistent with existing
practice.

Rule 2.172

   The Office is amending § 2.172 to clarify that a surrender for
cancellation may not subsequently be withdrawn. This is consistent with
existing practice.

Rule 2.185(a)

   The Office is amending § 2.185(a) to indicate that deficiencies in
renewal applications may be corrected after notification from the Office.
This is consistent with existing practice.

General Information and Correspondence in Trademark Cases

Rule 2.198(a)(1)

   The Office is amending § 2.198(a)(1) by adding § 2.198(a)(1)(viii) to
include affidavits under section 71 of the Act in the list of documents
excluded from the Office's Priority Mail Express(r) (formerly Express
Mail(r)) procedure. This is consistent with the handling of corresponding
affidavits under section 8 of the Act. In connection with this addition,
the Office is revising § 2.198(a)(1)(vi) and § 2.198(a)(1)(vii) for
clarity.

Classification of Goods and Services

Rule 6.1(5)

   The Office is amending § 6.1(5) to add the wording "or veterinary" to
the entry "dietetic food and substances adapted for medical use" in the
listing of goods for International Class 5. This is consistent with the
current heading for the international class as established by the Committee
of Experts of the Nice Union and set forth in the International
Classification of Goods and Services for the Purposes of the Registration
of Marks published annually by the World Intellectual Property Organization
on its web site.

Madrid Protocol

Rule 7.23(a)

   The Office had proposed to amend § 7.23(a)(5) to require that a request
to record an assignment of an international registration submitted through
the Office include a statement that, after making a good-faith effort, the
assignee could not obtain the assignor's signature for the request to
record the assignment and that the statement be signed and verified or
supported by declaration under § 2.20. In order to ensure clarity, the
Office is revising the amendment to § 7.23(a)(5) to require that a request
to record an assignment of an international registration submitted through
the Office include a statement that either the assignee could not obtain
the assignor's signature for the request to record the assignment because
the holder no longer exists, or, after a good-faith effort, the assignee
could not obtain the assignor's signature for the request to record the
assignment. This revision will ensure that, when possible, assignees make
a good-faith effort to obtain the assignor's signature before invoking this
rule and requesting the Office to forward the assignment document to the
International Bureau.

   The Office is amending § 7.23(a)(6) to indicate that a request to record
an assignment of an international registration submitted through the Office
must include an indication that the assignment applies to the designation
to the United States ("U.S.") or an international registration that was
originally based on a U.S. application or registration. This revision is
 February 10, 2015 US PATENT AND TRADEMARK OFFICE 1411 OG 121  

intended to ensure that an assignee of an international registration based
on a U.S. registration or application is treated the same as an assignee
of a designation to the U.S. Prior to this revision, the owner of an
international registration based on a U.S. registration or application was
required to file a petition to waive § 7.23(a)(6).

Rule 7.24(b)

   The Office had proposed to amend § 7.24(b)(5)(ii) to require that a
request, submitted through the Office, to record a restriction, or the
release of a restriction, that is the result of an agreement between the
holder of the international registration and the party restricting the
holder's right of disposal must include a statement indicating that, after
making a good-faith effort, the signature of the holder of the
international registration could not be obtained for the request to record
the restriction, or release of the restriction, and such statement must be
signed and verified or supported by declaration under § 2.20. In order to
ensure clarity, the Office is revising the amendment to § 7.24(b)(5)(ii) to
require, for a request to record the restriction or release of the
restriction, a statement either that the holder of the international
registration could not obtain the signature of the party restricting the
holder's right of disposal because the party restricting the holder's right
of disposal no longer exists, or, that after a good-faith effort, the
holder of the international registration could not obtain the signature of
the party restricting the holder's right of disposal. This revision will
ensure that, when possible, holders of international registrations make a
good-faith effort to obtain the signature of the party restricting the
holder's right of disposal before invoking this rule and requesting the
Office to forward the document to the International Bureau.

   The Office is amending § 7.24(b)(7) to indicate that a request to record
a restriction, or the release of a restriction, must include an indication
that the restriction, or the release of the restriction, of the holder's
right of disposal of the international registration applies to the
designation to the U.S. or an international registration that was
originally based on a U.S. application or registration. This revision is
intended to ensure that an assignee of an international registration based
on a U.S. registration or application is treated the same as an assignee of
a designation to the U.S. Prior to this revision, the owner of an
international registration based on a U.S. registration or application was
required to file a petition to waive § 7.24(b)(7).

Rule 7.25(a)

   The Office is amending § 7.25(a) to add §§ 2.21, 2.76, 2.88, and 2.89 to
the list of sections in part 2 not applicable to an extension of protection
under section 66(a) of the Act. This is consistent with existing practice
as these sections in part 2 only concern applications under sections 1 or
44 of the Act.

Rule 7.31

   The Office is amending § 7.31 by revising the introductory text and
§ 7.31(a)(3) to require that a request to transform an extension of
protection to the U.S. into a U.S. application specify the goods and/or
services to be transformed. This revision is intended to ensure that the
Office transforms an accurate listing of goods and/or services.

   The Office is redesignating current § 7.31(a)(3) as § 7.31(a)(4) and
current § 7.31(a)(4) as new § 7.31(a)(5) because current § 7.31(a)(3) is
being revised to require that a request to transform an extension of
protection to the U.S. into a U.S. application specify the goods and/or
services to be transformed.

Rulemaking Considerations
 February 10, 2015 US PATENT AND TRADEMARK OFFICE 1411 OG 122  

   Administrative Procedure Act: The changes in this rulemaking involve
rules of agency practice and procedure, and/or interpretive rules. See
Nat'l Org. of Veterans' Advocates v. Sec'y of Veterans Affairs, 260 F.3d
1365, 1375 (Fed. Cir. 2001) (rule that clarifies interpretation of a
statute is interpretive); Bachow Commc'ns Inc. v. FCC, 237 F.3d 683, 690
(D.C. Cir. 2001) (rules governing an application process are procedural
under the Administrative Procedure Act); Inova Alexandria Hosp. v. Shalala,
244 F.3d 342, 350 (4th Cir. 2001) (rules for handling appeals were
procedural where they did not change the substantive standard for reviewing
claims).
   Accordingly, prior notice and opportunity for public comment for the
rule changes are not required pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 553(b) or (c), or any
other law. See Cooper Techs. Co. v. Dudas, 536 F.3d 1330, 1336-37 (Fed.
Cir. 2008) (stating that 5 U.S.C. 553, and thus 35 U.S.C. 2(b)(2)(B), does
not require notice and comment rulemaking for "interpretative rules,
general statements of policy, or rules of agency organization, procedure,
or practice," quoting 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(A)). However, the Office chose to
seek public comment before implementing the rule to benefit from the
public's input.

   Regulatory Flexibility Act: As prior notice and an opportunity for
public comment are not required pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 553 or any other law,
neither a Regulatory Flexibility Act analysis, nor a certification under
the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601 et seq.), is required. See
5 U.S.C. 603.
   In addition, for the reasons set forth herein, the Deputy General
Counsel for General Law of the United States Patent and Trademark Office
has certified to the Chief Counsel for Advocacy of the Small Business
Administration that this rule will not have a significant economic impact
on a substantial number of small entities. See 5 U.S.C. 605(b). This rule
involves changes to rules of agency practice and procedure.  The primary
impact of the rule is to provide greater clarity as to certain requirements
relating to representation before the Office, applications for
registration, examination procedures, amendment of applications,
publication and post publication procedures, appeals, petitions, post
registration practice, correspondence in trademark cases, classification of
goods and services, and procedures under the Madrid Protocol. For the most
part, the rule changes are intended to codify existing practice. The
burdens, if any, to all entities, including small entities, imposed by
these rule changes will be minor. Additionally, in a number of instances,
the rule changes will lessen the burdens on applicants. Therefore, this
rule will not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number
of small entities.

   Executive Order 12866: This rule has been determined not to be
significant for purposes of Executive Order 12866.

   Executive Order 13563 (Improving Regulation and Regulatory Review):
The Office has complied with Executive Order 13563 (Jan. 18, 2011).
Specifically, the Office has, to the extent feasible and applicable:
(1) made a reasoned determination that the benefits justify the costs of
the rule changes; (2) tailored the rule to impose the least burden on
society consistent with obtaining the regulatory objectives; (3) selected
a regulatory approach that maximizes net benefits; (4) specified
performance objectives; (5) identified and assessed available alternatives;
(6) provided the public with a meaningful opportunity to participate in the
regulatory process, including soliciting the views of those likely affected
prior to issuing a notice of proposed rulemaking, and provided on-line
access to the rulemaking docket; (7) attempted to promote coordination,
simplification, and harmonization across government agencies and identified
goals designed to promote innovation; (8) considered approaches that reduce
burdens and maintain flexibility and freedom of choice for the public; and
(9) ensured the objectivity of scientific and technological information and
processes, to the extent applicable.

   Executive Order 13132: This rule does not contain policies with
 February 10, 2015 US PATENT AND TRADEMARK OFFICE 1411 OG 123  

federalism implications sufficient to warrant preparation of a Federalism
Assessment under Executive Order 13132 (Aug. 4, 1999).

   Congressional Review Act: Under the Congressional Review Act provisions
of the Small Business Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act of 1996 (5 U.S.C.
801 et seq.), prior to issuing any final rule, the Office will submit a
report containing the final rule and other required information to the U.S.
Senate, the U.S. House of Representatives, and the Comptroller General of
the Government Accountability Office. The changes in this rule are not
expected to result in an annual effect on the economy of 100 million
dollars or more, a major increase in costs or prices, or significant
adverse effects on competition, employment, investment, productivity,
innovation, or the ability of United States-based enterprises to compete
with foreign-based enterprises in domestic and export markets. Therefore,
this rule change is not expected to result in a ''major rule'' as defined
in 5 U.S.C. 804(2).

   Unfunded Mandate Reform Act of 1995: The Unfunded Mandates Reform Act
(2 U.S.C. 1501 et seq.) requires that agencies prepare an assessment of
anticipated costs and benefits before issuing any rule that may result in
expenditure by State, local, and tribal governments, in the aggregate, or
by the private sector, of $100 million or more (adjusted annually for
inflation) in any given year. This rule will have no such effect on
State, local, and tribal governments or the private sector.

   Paperwork Reduction Act: This rule involves information collection
requirements which are subject to review by the U.S. Office of Management
and Budget (OMB) under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501
et seq.). The Office has determined that there will be no new information
collection requirements or impacts to existing information collection
requirements associated with this rule. The collections of information
involved in this rule have been reviewed and previously approved by OMB
under control numbers 0651-0009, 0651-0050, 0651-0051, 0651-0054,
0651-0055, 0651-0056, and 0651-0061.
   Notwithstanding any other provision of law, no person is required to
respond to, nor shall a person be subject to a penalty for failure to
comply with, a collection of information subject to the requirements of
the Paperwork Reduction Act unless that collection of information displays
a currently valid OMB control number.

6, and 7 of title 37 as follows:

PART 2 - RULES OF PRACTICE IN TRADEMARK CASES

1. The authority citation for 37 CFR part 2 continues to read as follows:

   Authority: 15 U.S.C. 1123, 35 U.S.C. 2, unless otherwise noted.

2. Amend § 2.17 by revising paragraph (d)(1) to read as follows:
 February 10, 2015 US PATENT AND TRADEMARK OFFICE 1411 OG 124  


   § 2.17  Recognition for representation.

   * * * * *


   (d) * * *
   (1) The owner of an application or registration may appoint a
practitioner(s) qualified to practice under § 11.14 of this chapter to
represent the owner for all existing applications or registrations that
have the identical owner name and attorney through TEAS.

   * * * * *

3. Amend § 2.19 by revising paragraph (b) introductory text to read as
follows:

   § 2.19  Revocation or withdrawal of attorney.

   * * * * *

   (b) Withdrawal of attorney. If the requirements of § 11.116 of this
chapter are met, a practitioner authorized to represent an applicant,
registrant, or party to a proceeding in a trademark case may withdraw upon
application to and approval by the Director or, when applicable, upon
motion granted by the Trademark Trial and Appeal Board. The practitioner
should file the request to withdraw soon after the practitioner notifies
the client of his/her intent to withdraw. The request must include the
following:

   * * * * *

4. Amend § 2.22 by revising paragraph (a)(19) to read as follows:

   § 2.22  Filing requirements for a TEAS Plus application

   (a) * * *
   (19) If the applicant owns one or more registrations for the same mark,
and the owner(s) last listed in Office records of the prior registration(s)
for the same mark differs from the owner(s) listed in the application, a
claim of ownership of the registration(s) identified by the registration
number(s), pursuant to § 2.36; and

   * * * * *

5. Revise § 2.36 to read as follows:

   § 2.36  Identification of prior registrations.

   Prior registrations of the same or similar marks owned by the applicant
should be identified in the application if the owner(s) last listed in
Office records of the prior registrations differs from the owner(s) listed
in the application.

6. Amend § 2.38 by revising paragraph (b) and removing paragraph (c) to
read as follows:

   § 2.38  Use by predecessor or by related companies.

   * * * * *

   (b) The Office may require such details concerning the nature of the
relationship and such proofs as may be necessary and appropriate for the
purpose of showing that the use by related companies inures to the benefit
of the applicant and does not affect the validity of the mark.
 February 10, 2015 US PATENT AND TRADEMARK OFFICE 1411 OG 125  

7. Amend § 2.62 by adding paragraph (c) to read as follows:

   § 2.62  Procedure for filing response.

   * * * * *

   (c) Form. Responses must be filed through TEAS, transmitted by
facsimile, mailed, or delivered by hand, as set out in § 2.190(a).
Responses sent via e-mail will not be accorded a date of receipt.

8. Revise § 2.63 to read as follows:

   § 2.63  Action after response.

   (a) Repeated non-final refusal or requirement. After response by the
applicant, the examining attorney will review all statutory refusals and/or
requirement(s) in light of the response.
   (1) If, after review of the applicant's response, the examining attorney
issues a non-final action that maintains any previously issued substantive
refusal(s) to register or repeats any requirement(s), the applicant may
submit a timely response to the action under § 2.62(a).
   (2) If, after review of the applicant's response, the examining attorney
issues a non-final action that contains no substantive refusals to
register, but maintains any requirement(s), the applicant may respond to
such repeated requirement(s) by filing a timely petition to the Director
for relief from the repeated requirement(s) if the subject matter of the
repeated requirement(s) is appropriate for petition to the Director (see
§ 2.146(b)).
   (b) Final refusal or requirement. Upon review of a response, the
examining attorney may state that the refusal(s) to register, or the
requirement(s), is final.
   (1) If the examining attorney issues a final action that maintains any
substantive refusal(s) to register, the applicant may respond by timely
filing:
   (i) A request for reconsideration under paragraph (b)(3) of this section
that seeks to overcome any substantive refusal(s) to register, and comply
with any outstanding requirement(s), maintained in the final action; or
   (ii) An appeal to the Trademark Trial and Appeal Board under §§ 2.141
and 2.142.
   (2) If the examining attorney issues a final action that contains no
substantive refusals to register, but maintains any requirement(s),
the applicant may respond by timely filing:
   (i) A request for reconsideration under paragraph (b)(3) of this section
that seeks to comply with any outstanding requirement(s) maintained in the
final action;
   (ii) An appeal of the requirement(s) to the Trademark Trial and Appeal
Board under §§ 2.141 and 2.142; or
   (iii) A petition to the Director under § 2.146 to review the
requirement(s), if the subject matter of the requirement(s) is procedural,
and therefore appropriate for petition.
   (3) Prior to the expiration of the time for filing an appeal or a
petition, the applicant may file a request for reconsideration of the final
action that seeks to overcome any substantive refusal(s) and/or comply with
any outstanding requirement(s). Filing a request for reconsideration does
not stay or extend the time for filing an appeal or petition. The Office
will enter amendments accompanying requests for reconsideration after final
action if the amendments comply with the rules of practice in trademark
cases and the Act.
   (4)  Filing a request for reconsideration that does not result in the
withdrawal of all refusals and requirements, without the filing of a timely
appeal or petition, will result in abandonment of the application for
incomplete response, pursuant to § 2.65(a).
   (c) If a petition to the Director under § 2.146 is denied, the applicant
will have six months from the date of issuance of the Office action that
repeated the requirement(s), or made it final, or thirty days from the date
of the decision on the petition, whichever date is later, to comply with
 February 10, 2015 US PATENT AND TRADEMARK OFFICE 1411 OG 126  

the requirement(s). A requirement that is the subject of a petition decided
by the Director subsequently may not be the subject of an appeal to the
Trademark Trial and Appeal Board.
   (d) If an applicant in an application under section 1(b) of the Act
files an amendment to allege use under § 2.76 during the six-month response
period after issuance of a final action, the examining attorney will
examine the amendment. The filing of such an amendment does not stay or
extend the time for filing an appeal or petition.

   § 2.64  [Removed and Reserved]

9. Remove and reserve § 2.64.

10. Revise § 2.65 to read as follows:

   § 2.65  Abandonment.

   (a) An application will be abandoned if an applicant fails to respond to
an Office action, or to respond completely, within six months from the date
of issuance. A timely petition to the Director pursuant to §§ 2.63(a) and
(b) and 2.146 or notice of appeal to the Trademark Trial and Appeal Board
pursuant to § 2.142, if appropriate, is a response that avoids abandonment
(see § 2.63(b)(4)).
   (1) If all refusals and/or requirements are expressly limited to certain
goods and/or services, the application will be abandoned only as to those
goods and/or services.
   (2) When a timely response by the applicant is a bona fide attempt to
advance the examination of the application and is a substantially complete
response to the examining attorney's action, but consideration of some
matter or compliance with a requirement has been omitted, the examining
attorney may grant the applicant thirty days, or to the end of the response
period set forth in the action to which the substantially complete response
was submitted, whichever is longer, to explain and supply the omission
before the examining attorney considers the question of abandonment.
   (b) An application will be abandoned if an applicant expressly abandons
the application pursuant to § 2.68.
   (c) An application will be abandoned if an applicant in an application
under section 1(b) of the Act fails to timely file either a statement of
use under § 2.88 or a request for an extension of time for filing a
statement of use under § 2.89.

 11. Revise § 2.68 to read as follows:

   § 2.68  Express abandonment (withdrawal) of application.

   (a) Written document required. An applicant may expressly abandon an
application by filing a written request for abandonment or withdrawal of
the application, signed by the applicant, someone with legal authority to
bind the applicant (e.g., a corporate officer or general partner of a
partnership), or a practitioner qualified to practice under § 11.14 of this
chapter, in accordance with the requirements of § 2.193(e)(2). A request
for abandonment or withdrawal may not subsequently be withdrawn.
   (b) Rights in the mark not affected. Except as provided in § 2.135, the
fact that an application has been expressly abandoned shall not affect any
rights that the applicant may have in the mark set forth in the abandoned
application in any proceeding before the Office.

 12. Amend § 2.77 by revising paragraph (b) to read as follows:

 § 2.77  Amendments between notice of allowance and statement of use.

 * * * * *

   (b) Other amendments may be entered during this period only with the
express permission of the Director, after consideration on petition under
§ 2.146. If the Director determines that the amendment requires review by
 February 10, 2015 US PATENT AND TRADEMARK OFFICE 1411 OG 127  

the examining attorney, the petition will be denied and the amendment may
be resubmitted with the statement of use in order for the applicant to
preserve its right to review.

13. Amend § 2.81 by revising paragraph (b) to read as follows:

   § 2.81  Post publication.

   * * * * *

   (b) In an application under section 1(b) of the Act for which no
amendment to allege use under § 2.76 has been submitted and accepted, if no
opposition is filed within the time permitted or all oppositions filed are
dismissed, and if no interference is declared, a notice of allowance will
issue. Thereafter, the applicant must submit a statement of use as provided
in § 2.88.

14. Amend § 2.84 by revising paragraph (b) to read as follows:

   § 2.84  Jurisdiction over published applications.

   * * * * *

   (b) After publication, but before the certificate of registration is
issued in an application under section 1(a), 44, or 66(a) of the Act, or
before the notice of allowance is issued in an application under section
1(b) of the Act, an application that is not the subject of an inter partes
proceeding before the Trademark Trial and Appeal Board may be amended if
the amendment meets the requirements of §§ 2.71, 2.72, and 2.74. Otherwise,
an amendment to such an application may be submitted only upon petition to
the Director to restore jurisdiction over the application to the examining
attorney for consideration of the amendment and further examination. The
amendment of an application that is the subject of an inter partes
proceeding before the Trademark Trial and Appeal Board is governed by
§ 2.133.

15. Amend § 2.142 by revising paragraphs (f)(3) and (6) to read as follows:

   § 2.142  Time and manner of ex parte appeals.

   * * * * *

   (f) * * *
   (3) If the further examination does result in an additional ground for
refusal of registration, the examiner and appellant shall proceed as
provided by §§ 2.61, 2.62, and 2.63. If the ground for refusal is made
final, the examiner shall return the application to the Board, which shall
thereupon issue an order allowing the appellant sixty days from the date of
the order to file a supplemental brief limited to the additional ground for
the refusal of registration. If the supplemental brief is not filed by the
appellant within the time allowed, the appeal may be dismissed.

   * * * * *

   (6) If, during an appeal from a refusal of registration, it appears to
the examiner that an issue not involved in the appeal may render the mark
of the appellant unregistrable, the examiner may, by written request, ask
the Board to suspend the appeal and to remand the application to the
examiner for further examination. If the request is granted, the examiner
and appellant shall proceed as provided by §§ 2.61, 2.62, and 2.63. After

16. Amend § 2.145 by revising paragraph (a) introductory text to read as
follows:

   § 2.145  Appeal to court and civil action.

   (a) Appeal to U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit. An
applicant for registration, or any party to an interference, opposition, or
cancellation proceeding, or any party to an application to register as a
concurrent user, hereinafter referred to as inter partes proceedings, who
is dissatisfied with the decision of the Trademark Trial and Appeal Board,
and any registrant who has filed an affidavit or declaration under
section 8 or section 71 of the Act or who has filed an application for
renewal and is dissatisfied with the decision of the Director (§§ 2.165 and
2.184), may appeal to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit.
The appellant must take the following steps in such an appeal:

   * * * * *

17. Amend § 2.146 by revising paragraphs (a)(1) and (g) to read as follows:

   § 2.146  Petitions to the Director.

   (a) * * *
   (1) From any repeated or final formal requirement of the examiner in the
ex parte prosecution of an application if permitted by § 2.63(a) and (b);

   * * * * *

   (g) The mere filing of a petition to the Director will not act as a stay
in any appeal or inter partes proceeding that is pending before the
Trademark Trial and Appeal Board nor stay the period for replying to an
Office action in an application except when a stay is specifically
requested and is granted or when §§ 2.63(a) and (b) and 2.65(a) are
applicable to an ex parte application.

   * * * * *

18. Amend § 2.171 by revising paragraph (b)(2)(i) to read as follows:

   § 2.171  New certificate on change of ownership.

   * * * * *

   (b) * * *
   (2)(i) When the International Bureau of the World Intellectual Property
Organization notifies the Office that an international registration has
been divided as the result of a change of ownership with respect to some
but not all of the goods and/or services, the Office will construe the
International Bureau's notice as a request to divide. The Office will
update Office records to reflect the change in ownership, divide out the
assigned goods and/or services from the registered extension of protection
(parent registration), and publish notice of the parent registration in the
Official Gazette.

   * * * * *

19. Revise § 2.172 to read as follows:

   § 2.172  Surrender for cancellation.

   Upon application by the owner, the Director may permit any registration
to be surrendered for cancellation. The application for surrender must be
signed by the owner of the registration, someone with legal authority to
bind the owner (e.g., a corporate officer or general partner of a
partnership), or a practitioner qualified to practice under § 11.14 of this
 February 10, 2015 US PATENT AND TRADEMARK OFFICE 1411 OG 129  

chapter. When a registration has more than one class, one or more entire
class(es) but fewer than the total number of classes may be surrendered.
Deletion of fewer than all the goods or services in a single class
constitutes amendment of the registration as to that class (see § 2.173),
rather than surrender. A surrender for cancellation may not subsequently be
withdrawn.

20. Amend § 2.185 by revising paragraph (a) introductory text to read as
follows:

   § 2.185  Correcting deficiencies in renewal application.

   (a) If the renewal application is filed within the time periods set
forth in section 9(a) of the Act, deficiencies may be corrected after
notification from the Office, as follows:

   * * * * *

21. Amend § 2.198 by revising paragraphs (a)(1)(vi) and (vii) and adding
paragraph (a)(1)(viii) to read as follows:

§ 2.198  Filing of correspondence by Priority Mail Express(r).

   (a)(1) * * *
   (vi) Renewal requests under section 9 of the Act;
   (vii) Requests to change or correct addresses; and
   (viii) Affidavits of use under section 71 of the Act.

   * * * * *

              MAIL TO BE DIRECTED TO THE COMMISSIONER FOR PATENTS

   For most correspondence (e.g., new patent applications) no mail stop
is required because the processing of the correspondence is routine.
If NO mail stop is included on the list below, no mail stop is required
for the correspondence. See the listing under "Mail to be Directed to the
Director of the Patent And Trademark Office" for additional mail stops
for patent-related correspondence. Only the specified type of document
should be placed in an envelope addressed to one of these special mail
stops. If any documents other than the specified type identified for each
special mail stop are addressed to that mail stop, they will be
significantly delayed in reaching the appropriate area for which they are
intended. The mail stop should generally appear as the first line in
the address.

   Most correspondence may be submitted electronically. See the USPTO's
Electronic Filing System (EFS-Web) internet page
http://www.uspto.gov/patents/process/file/efs/index.jsp for additional
information.
