 Approximately six months after filing for a trademark, an examining attorney with the US Patent and Trademark Office will review the trademark application and determine if the requested trademark name may be registered. If the USPTO examining attorney determines the trademark cannot be registered, they will issue a letter indicating the reason(s) for refusal and any required corrections to be made to the application.
The examining attorney may, at their own discretion, contact the trademark applicant by telephone in the event that only minor corrections are required. The applicant is required to respond to the trademark application objections within a six month time frame of the letter’s mail date. If the USPTO does not receive a response overcoming all objections within the six month time frame, the examining attorney will formally issue a final refusal. Applicants may appeal to the Trademark Trial and Appeal Board, the administrative body of the US Patent and Trademark Office.
