It was announced in Monday’s Federal Register that the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office has reopened the window for comments regarding the proposed changes announced in the January 17, 2006 Federal Register. Those proposed changes apply to certain rules regarding practice before the Trademark Trial and Appeal Board, including proposals “to amend [USPTO] rules to require plaintiffs in Trademark Trial and Appeal Board (Board) inter partes proceedings to serve on defendants their complaints or claims; to utilize in Board inter partes proceedings as modified form of the disclosure practices included in the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure; and to delete the option of making submissions to the Board in CD-ROM form.” There are also additional amendments proposed for clarification purposes and to correct and confirm the rules to align with current Board practice. The new deadline for comment is May 4th.
