Abandoned Due to Missed Response Deadline to Examination Opinion​

If you didn’t respond to a trademark office Examination Opinion within the specified time, your trademark application is officially marked abandoned.​

What’s at risk: Once the deadline is missed, your application is terminated and taken out of the examination process. You forfeit your initial filing date and the technical priority it conferred. This exposes your invention to potential infringement – others might seek protection for a similar technology while your rights are suspended.

• Review the complete patent office records and Examination Opinion notice​
• Draft an accurate technical and legal response addressing all points raised​
• File a Request for Reinstatement with a signed Statement of Unintentional Delay​
• Assist you until your application is reinstated and proceeds with examination

Abandoned Due to Missed Statement of Use (SOU) for Trademark​

Your patent won’t be granted until you demonstrate you’re utilizing the invention. If you didn’t file the SOU or an extension request on time, the trademark office deems it abandoned.​

What’s at risk: If left unfiled, your trademark grant never comes through. You lose your trademark rights, your trademark in the examination queue, and may have to start anew with a fresh application entirely.​

• File a Trademark for Revival with the appropriate trademark office code​
• Assist you in submitting a valid SOU or applying for a six-month extension​
• Thoroughly verify that your proof of use complies with national trademark regulations​
• Ensure your invention continues moving toward full trademark protection​

Abandoned Due to Unaddressed Partial Rejection

Partial rejections are often complex, yet failing to respond to them can result in your entire submission being discarded—even if certain sections had already been approved.

What’s at stake: Your complete submission becomes invalid, including the parts that were previously accepted. This translates to lost application fees, wasted research efforts, and weeks or months of work down the drain.

• Scrutinize the regulatory body’s rejection notice in detail, line by line
• Draft a formal response that adheres to the relevant industry regulations
• Submit a Request for Reinstatement, should circumstances require it
• Take action to safeguard every aspect of your submission

Voided Due to Incomplete Response to Official Action

Even if you’ve replied to the regulatory authority, your submission could still be voided if the response was incomplete or contained inaccuracies.

What’s at stake: The reviewing body will halt the evaluation of your file. Your application remains stagnant, and your project stays unapproved. You might have to resubmit, wasting both time and resources.

• Review your prior submission and the official action with thoroughness
• Identify any missing elements or improperly addressed points
• File a revised response along with a Request for Reactivation, if needed
• Keep you informed until the case is reinstated

Forfeiture Past the Reinstatement Period

If six months or more have elapsed since your application was forfeited, the regulatory body no longer permits standard reinstatement. However, alternative paths may still exist.

What’s at stake: Once the reinstatement window closes, the original application becomes invalid. You forfeit your submission date and your legal claim to that specific asset under its original reference number.

• Audit the case history to identify any remaining legal recourses
• Recommend whether a new submission is your optimal choice
• Repurpose your prior materials to reduce effort and expenses
• Submit promptly to re-secure protection for your asset
