From Proof of Use to Appeal: Getting Specimens Right—and What to Do After a Final Refusal
Join us on Wednesday, May 20 from 12:00 - 1:00 PM for for a practical look at trademark specimens and how to avoid common USPTO pitfalls.
Anyone seeking to register a trademark with the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) must submit evidence of use — known as a "specimen" — before registration is complete. Because the USPTO examines specimens carefully, how a mark is used in commerce matters enormously.
Join our Intellectual Property team for a practical webinar designed to help brand owners and in-house legal and marketing teams understand how to create effective specimens from the start, avoid the most common USPTO rejection grounds, and learn from real-world examples of what works — and what doesn't. The session closes with a dedicated segment covering the process and technical requirements for appealing a USPTO examiner's final denial of a trademark application.
