When the USPTO identifies issues with your trademark application, it issues an Office Action — a formal letter outlining the grounds for refusal or requesting additional information. Responding correctly and on time is critical: you have three months to respond, with a possible three-month extension. A weak response, or no response at all, means your application goes abandoned. At Sanchelima & Associates, P.A., we have been responding to USPTO Office Actions since 1977.
