Office Action

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. An office action is a document written by an examiner in a patent or trademark examination procedure and mailed to an applicant for a patent or trademark. The expression is used in many jurisdictions. In United States trademark law, an office action is a rejection of an application to register a trademark issued by an examiner for the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO). Typically, an office action will comprise one or both of two elements. The first element is the category of "informalities", matters such as an inadequate sample to show use of the mark, providing insufficient information with respect to the nature of the entity seeking the mark (for example, failing to name the partners in a partnership), or providing insufficient information for the examiner to determine what, exactly, the goods and services provided by the applicant are.
