📑 ️Frequently Asked Questions

What is a USPTO Office Action, and why did I receive one?
+
An Office Action is a formal letter from the USPTO explaining why your trademark application can’t move forward as filed. It may include legal refusals (like likelihood of confusion), procedural issues, or missing information.

Our Service: We review your Office Action in detail and respond professionally on your behalf, so your application stays on track.
How long do I have to respond to an Office Action?
+
Most applicants have 3 months from the date of the Office Action to respond. A 3-month extension is available (with a USPTO fee). For international (Madrid Protocol) filings, the deadline is 6 months, with no extensions allowed.

Our Service: We track deadlines, prepare responses, and file them promptly — you won’t miss a thing.
What types of Office Actions can you help with?
+
We handle all types of USPTO Office Actions, including:

Nonfinal Office Actions (initial refusals or requirements)
Final Office Actions (last chance before abandonment)
Specimen Refusals
Likelihood of Confusion (Section 2(d))
Descriptiveness (Section 2(e)(1))
Improper Identification of Goods/Services
Missing disclaimers or signatures

Our Service: We craft tailored legal responses and provide strong supporting evidence to overcome refusals.
Can you fix problems with my specimen?
+
Yes. Many applications are refused because the specimen (proof of use) is improper — for example, mockups, digitally altered images, or incorrect usage.

Our Service: We review your specimen, advise you if it’s invalid, and submit a legally compliant substitute specimen.
What if my mark was refused for being too similar to another trademark?
+
This is called a Section 2(d) Likelihood of Confusion refusal.

Our Service: We analyze both marks, identify differences in goods/services, and present persuasive legal arguments. If needed, we can help obtain coexistence or consent agreements.
️ Who must sign the response?
+
USPTO rules are strict about who can sign the response. If you're not represented, the applicant (or authorized officer) must sign. If you're represented by an attorney, only the attorney may sign.

Our Service: Our licensed U.S. attorneys handle all filings, ensure compliance, and sign on your behalf.
What happens if I don’t respond in time?
+
Your trademark application will be abandoned, and you’ll lose your filing rights. Refiling can be costly and time-consuming.

Our Service: We prevent missed deadlines, notify you in advance, and handle urgent filings if needed.
Why should I hire a professional to respond?
+
Office Action responses require legal reasoning, knowledge of trademark law, and familiarity with USPTO procedures.

Our Service: We’ve helped businesses of all sizes successfully overcome refusals. Let us handle the legal work — while you focus on growing your brand.
