What are Non-Substantive USPTO Office Actions

The U.S. Patent and Trademark Office occasionally refuses trademark applications after an initial review by an Examining Attorney. Such refusals entitle the applicant to respond within 6 months of the mailing of the office action/provisional refusal. Non-substantive USPTO office actions may be informal, requiring clarification or amendment of the application in order to place it in proper condition for publication. Informalities include problems with the identification of goods or services, the legal entity status or citizenship of the applicant, improper specimens, or improper dates of use.

What are Substantive USPTO Office Actions

Substantive USPTO office actions are based on more complicated problems identified by the Examining Attorney. Substantive USPTO office actions may involve substantive legal refusals based on statutory prohibitions, such as refusals based on mere descriptiveness (or generic marks), likelihood of confusion, surnames, false suggestion of connection, or scandalous marks. Upon receipt of a substantive USPTO office action, we will provide a free evaluation to determine whether or not the problem can be fixed and provide an estimate of the fees associated with responding to the office action.

Our experienced trademark attorneys evaluate your proposed word mark (trademark or service mark) against statutory requirements. Our fixed fee trademark lawyers perform a comprehensive trademark search of federal, state, common law, and domain name databases. Our flat fee trademark lawyers prepare a trademark search opinion letter and e-mail it to you within 4 business days or the search is FREE (the 4 day guarantee begins the first business day after receiving the order). The trademark search opinion letter includes a review of the trademark search results and a trademark registration opinion regarding the proposed trademark based on statutory requirements. Our flat fee trademark attorneys prepare and file a federal trademark application for federal trademark registration, in a single class, FREE for trademarks that receive favorable trademark opinions. (not including the USPTO filing fee of $325 per class)
