This free USPTO event series provides a comprehensive overview of the process for federal trademark registration and maintaining a federal trademark. If you're a small business owner or entrepreneur seeking to protect your brand and product identities, Trademark Basics Boot Camp is for you. Offered regularly throughout the year, each series runs weekly for eight weeks, focusing on different aspects of trademarks and the registration process, from filing and examination to post-registration requirements. Each module concludes with a question-and-answer period where attendees can ask USPTO trademark experts questions. In this sixth module, we’ll focus on responding to office actions, the official letters issued by USPTO examining attorneys after reviewing trademark applications. This module will cover trademark basics, office action basics, response timeframes and deadlines, filing a response, tips for a successful response, and finding help. Space is limited, so registration is required by November 9, 2026.
