Trademark Alert 50,000 goods and services canceled from trademark registrations using TMA proceedings  We've hit a new milestone in our efforts to declutter the trademark register—over 50,000 goods and services canceled using ex parte expungement and reexamination proceedings. The majority of cancellations came from proceedings instituted on the USPTO Director's own initiative against registrations linked to specimen farms. Some filing firms built these e-commerce websites solely to create fake specimens of use, but the marks were never actually used in commerce.   Learn how to request an expungement or reexamination proceeding to cancel unused goods and services from registrations blocking your client's or your company's path to new business opportunities.  ​  ​      ​    ​  Having trouble accessing links in this email?
