Applicant should notify the Board immediately if it has not filed a timely request for reconsideration and does not intend to do so.

A request for reconsideration, which may or may not include an amendment, must be filed with the Trademark Examining Operation, and may be filed via TEAS, using the Response to Office Action form.1 In view of the filing of the request for reconsideration/amendment, the appeal is hereby instituted, but action on the appeal is suspended and the application is remanded to the examining attorney to consider the request for reconsideration/amendment.

In the event the refusal of registration is maintained, and assuming that the request for reconsideration/amendment does not raise a new issue, the application will be returned to the Board, proceedings in the appeal will be resumed, and applicant will be allowed time in which to file an appeal brief.

An Amendment to Allege Use will be treated in the same manner as any amendment; if registrability is found on the basis of the AAU, the appeal will be moot; if the AAU raises a new issue, the examining attorney may not make a refusal final until applicant has been given an opportunity to respond.

The examining attorney should forward the application to the ITU/Divisional Unit of the Office to act on the request to divide.
