<div>I had a similar situation and was able to submit a new, acceptable specimen. I think the Examiner had to issue a final refusal on the matter in the meantime but then withdrew it after the new specimen was filed. </div>

<div dir="ltr"> I have a hypothetical for amending a 1(b) application to the Supplemental Register before publication. The timing would be: January 1st, Applicant amends to Supplemental Register and files an allegation of use
<div>Examiner rejects the specimen for not showing use in commerce on the goods in the application. </div>
<div>Applicant changes use in commerce date to Feb 1st, and submits a new specimen properly showing use in commerce as of that date. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Is this possible? Or will applicant lose the application if they show up with a first use in commerce date that is even one day after they attempted to amend to the Supplemental Register?</div>

<div>Thanks in advance! </div>
