Hong Kong police make first arrests under sweeping new security law as U.K. offers path to citizenship for territory's residents

Police in Hong Kong have made the first arrests under a sweeping new national security law, less than 24 hours after it was passed by mainland China. Amid dramatic scenes, thousands of protesters took to the streets on Wednesday, which also marked the 23rd anniversary of the territory's handover from the U.K. to China.The law is seen as the most significant change since Hong Kong left British rule in 1997.  British Prime Minister Boris Johnson said on Wednesday that the law was a "clear and serious" breach of the handover agreement between the two countries and said he would honor a promise made earlier this month to provide passports and a path to citizenship to as many as 3 million Hong Kong residents.

USPTO releases additional information on the COVID-19 Trademark Prioritized Examination Program

On June 15, the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) announced the COVID-19 Prioritized Examination Program for certain trademark and service mark applications, which allows COVID-19-related trademark applications to be advanced out of turn and immediately assigned for examination. On June 30, the USPTO launched a related webpage, where applicants can find additional resources and information about the program.

As outlined in the official notice, applicants request participation in the program through a petition to the Director to advance the initial examination of qualifying trademark applications, and the USPTO has waived the fee for such petitions. Examination can be expedited by approximately two months (depending on how quickly the applicant files the petition), and may be further expedited by responding promptly to any USPTO correspondence.

Questions regarding the COVID-19 Trademark Prioritized Examination Program may be addressed to TMPolicy@uspto.gov. Questions about how to access or submit the TEAS "Petition to Director" form should be addressed to TEAS@uspto.gov.
