Correspondence With the United States Patent and Trademark Office
The United States Patent and Trademark Office ("USPTO") is revising its rules of practice to simplify the requirements for: (1) Filing an application for registration based on a foreign registration under 15 U.S.C. 1126(e); and (2) designation of a domestic representative by a party who is not domiciled in the United States. These changes implement the changes to the Trademark Act of 1946, 15 U.S.C. 1051 et seq., made by the Technical Corrections in Trademark Law Act, title III, subtitle B, sec. 13207 of Pub. L. 107-273, 116 Stat. 1758. The USPTO is also making some minor technical corrections to the rules of practice.
