`
`TRADEMARK TRIAL AND APPEAL BOARD RULE
`CHANGES
`
`
`The USPTO has issued new rules pertaining to TTAB proceedings. Parties
`are urged to familiarize themselves with the new rules.
`
`Among other changes, for any notice of opposition filed on or after November
`1, 2007, the new rules require an opposer to provide proof of service of the
`notice of opposition upon the applicant at the time the notice of opposition is
`filed. Trademark Rule 2.101. (Parallel amendments to Trademark Rule
`2.111 require a petitioner to include proof of service of the petition for
`cancellation.) Service may be made by any of the means set out in
`Trademark Rule 2.119(b). A certificate of service is adequate proof of service;
`
`
`
`
`
`Extension of Time to Oppose No. 86376750
`
`service by a process server is not necessary. A notice of opposition (or
`petition for cancellation) filed without a certificate of service will not be
`instituted.
`
`The notice of final rulemaking and a chart summarizing the changes
`contained in the notice are available for viewing on the TTAB web page:
