• Recent TTAB decisions of note, including discussions on how statements in patent filings can result in trademark functionality and descriptiveness findings, risks in filing intent-to-use trademark applications in the name of an individual, and showing intent to use a mark filed in the United States via the Madrid Protocol.
• Recent federal court decisions of note, including whether section 18 counterclaims can be brought in federal court and waiver of new arguments not brought before the Board.
• Recent USPTO examination updates, including a new rule requiring foreign applicants and registrants to use U.S.-licensed attorneys; new rules regarding mandatory electronic filing, owner email addresses, and specimen requirements; and COVID-19 deadline extensions.
