New Deadline to Respond to Office Actions for Applications


Beginning on 3 December 2022, trademark applicants will have three months (with a possible three-month extension), instead of the current six months, to respond to office actions issued during the examination of a trademark application at the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO). This change only applies to office actions issued on or after December 3.

This new response period will not apply to post-registration office actions on 3 December 2022. Changes to the post-registration response period will be implemented on 7 October 2023.
