If the examining attorney raises no objections to registration, or if the applicant overcomes all objections,
the examining attorney will approve the mark for publication in the
Official Gazette.
The USPTO will send a
Notice of Publication to the applicant stating the date
of publication. Any party who believes it may be damaged by registration of the mark has thirty (30) days from the
publication date to file either an
opposition to registration or a
request to extend the time to oppose.
If no opposition is filed or if the opposition is unsuccessful, the application enters the next stage of the
registration process. A
Certificate of Registration will issue for applications based on use, or on a foreign registration under §44, or a
Notice of Allowance will issue for
intent-to-use applications.
