POST PUBLICATION/POST NOTICE OF ALLOWANCE (NOA) FORMS

 

  Please click on the following to access a form for:

1. Post-Publication Amendment Form
You may use this form to file a proposed amendment to an application under the following circumstances:
(1) the examining attorney has approved the application for publication, but it has not yet published for opposition;
(2) the application has published for opposition but a registration certificate or notice of allowance (NOA) has neither been prepared for issuance nor actually issued;
(3) a NOA has issued but a statement of use (SOU) has not been filed and the amendment is either to delete specific goods and/or services (or an entire class of goods/services) from the application or to delete the intent-to-use basis in a multiple-basis application. Any other amendments filed between issuance of the NOA and filing of the SOU will not be examined until the SOU is filed;
(4) a NOA has issued and an SOU has been filed; or
(5) an extension of time to file a Notice of Opposition was filed, but the extension period has ended and no actual Notice of Opposition has been filed.
NOTE: You may e-mail requests to correct minor typographical errors and/or questions regarding the status of a post-publication amendment to TMPostPubQuery@USPTO.GOV.


2. Request To Delete Section 1(b) Basis, Intent-To-Use
Use this form only to delete the Section 1(b) basis for an entire application or an entire class of goods and/or services, and to rely on an alternative, previously-claimed basis for registration. Do not use this form for any of the following:

  • To delete the Section 1(b) basis when Section 1(b) is the only basis currently stated in the application;
  • To delete the Section 1(b) basis for only some of the goods and/or services within a class. See Preliminary Amendment form.
  • To delete goods, services, and/or class(es) from an application. See Preliminary Amendment form.
  • To file a request to divid.
NOTE: This form should NOT be used in place of the TEAS Response to Office action form. I.e., if an overall response is required, then the request to delete Section 1(b) should be made as part of that response, rather than as a totally separate filing.
