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.
This practical webinar is designed to help brand owners and in-house legal and marketing teams understand what trademark specimens are, when they’re required, and how to avoid the most common USPTO pitfalls. The session will walk through the key differences between specimens for goods and services, highlight frequent rejection grounds, and offer clear, real-world examples of what works and what doesn’t. Attendees will also hear from one of our IP litigators, who will explain the process and technical requirements for appealing a USPTO examiner’s final denial of your trademark application—whether based on a specimen refusal or other grounds—before the Trademark Trial and Appeal Board.
