On 18 May 2021, the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO<\/strong>) published a notice of proposed rule-making concerning the Trademark Modernization Act of 2020 (TMA<\/strong>).<\/p>\n

Key points of the proposed rules:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. New ground for TTAB cancellation proceeding;<\/li>\n
  2. Shorter three-month response period for office actions;<\/li>\n
  3. Third-party submissions during examination (letters of protest);<\/li>\n
  4. Attorney recognition until revocation or withdrawal;<\/li>\n
  5. Attorney withdrawal requirements codified;<\/li>\n
  6. Court orders concerning registrations.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    To implement the new ex parte<\/em> expungement and reexamination proceedings, as required by the TMA, the USPTO proposes the following new rules:<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. Section 2.91, setting forth the requirements for a petition requesting the institution <\/span>of expungement or reexamination proceedings; <\/span><\/li>\n

    4. Section 2.143, addressing appeals to the TTAB in connection with these new <\/span>proceedings.<\/span>In addition, conforming amendments are proposed for the following existing <\/span>rules: <\/span><\/li>\n
    5. Section 2.11, which requires U.S. counsel for foreign-domiciled petitioners and <\/span>registrants; <\/span><\/li>\n
    6. Section 2.23, which addresses the duty to monitor the status of a registration; <\/span><\/li>\n
    7. Section 2.142, which addresses the time and manner of ex parte appeals; <\/span><\/li>\n
    8. Section 2.145, which addresses appeals to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the <\/span>Federal Circuit;<\/span><\/li>\n
    9. Section 2.146, which addresses petitions to the Director; and <\/span><\/li>\n
    10. Section 2.193, which addresses signature requirements. <\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
