June 30 is the deadline to share your comments on the TTAB’s Standard Protective Order

Time is running out to let the Trademark Trial and Appeal Board (TTAB) know what you think about a specific provision of our standard protective order (SPO). Under the current SPO, in-house counsel is not allowed to access materials designated “Confidential – For Attorneys’ Eyes Only (trade secret/ commercially sensitive)” unless an appropriate showing has been made and approved by the TTAB. We would like to know your thoughts about whether we should retain or modify the provision.

Use IdeaScale to provide your suggestions by June 30. Be sure to include reasons and examples with your feedback. See our How to use IdeaScale page on the USPTO website for instructions.

Having trouble using IdeaScale? You can also send your comments and suggestions to Cheryl.Butler@uspto.gov for posting.
