What is a Trademark Office Action?

An initial refusal/rejection on your trademark application by the USPTO is referred to as an ‘Office Action’ and needs to be addressed properly. Any and all requirements stated in the letter are to be resolved before the application proceeds further for approval. It has been observed that each applicant has nearly six (06) months to respond to the issued ‘Office Action’, any failure to do so will result in a void application altogether. Another important thing to be taken into consideration here is the application fee is not refunded under any such circumstances. And thus a timely response from your team at TradeMark Clutch is crucial to getting your trademark registered on time.


Each ‘Office Action’ surfaces with a unique situation and each time a custom response must be prepared which helps to save both your time and investment. Most of the time, such situations are fairly easy to resolve, however, in recent times, we’ve observed a few tricky ones along the way. These require legal arguments to save you from the trouble that may follow in the near future. We also recommend the services of an attorney before submitting an appropriate response.
