Electronic Filing Mandatory Now / Exam Guide Updated


The USPTO informed that the mandatory electronic filing rule is now effective as of 15 February 2020. All communications with the USPTO in trademark matters will be electronic, except in limited circumstances. This means trademark applicants and owners will need to keep valid electronic contact information on file with the USPTO for the life of their registration.

The revised examination guide was issued on 7 February 2020. It removes the requirement that an applicant represented by counsel must regularly access and review the email account provided.
