MPEP and TMEP Maintenance

The Manual of Patent Examining Procedure (MPEP) and the Trademark Manual of Examining Procedure (TMEP) will be unavailable during the maintenance period.
TEAS/TEASi Maintenance
The USPTO will perform maintenance on Trademark Electronic Application System (TEAS) and Trademark Electronic Application Submission International (TEASi) beginning at 8 a.m. and ending at 4 p.m., Saturday, August 23 EDT.

Because portable and e-signature forms may take up to 14 days to process, it is important that you be aware of this scheduled outage so that you can plan ahead to avoid additional work. Our recommendation is that you file all recently created portable and e-signature forms by August 22, 2014. Customers unable to do so will be required to start the process again with updated forms.
We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.
