The American Intellectual Law Association (AIPLA) has reviewed and discussed the revised Examination Guide issued by the USPTO on February 14, 2020, which relates to the mandatory electronic filing rule for trademark applications.
AIPLA appreciates the revisions made in this Examination Guide and the guidance that the document provides.
However, the revised guidance regarding the submission of an acceptable email address for a trademark owner who is represented by counsel is subject to various interpretations, leading to significant uncertainty for our members.
