Thanks for asking.<br>
<br>
The deadline is 30 days after the Supreme Court dockets the
petition. It takes a two or three days for them to docket it and
they will state in the docket entry what the deadlines are. So you
can assume no earlier than June 13 and probably a few days after
that.<br>

<div> Hi all,<br>
<br>
Hope you're having a great Friday afternoon!<br>
<br>
This is to let you know that on Monday we will be filing a
petition for certiorari in my loss in the Federal Circuit in
In re Chestek PLLC. This step is being taken with great
thought. <br>
<br>
The PTO is obliged by statute to follow the same processes
described in the Administrative Procedures Act that all
government agencies follow, which is to publish proposed
rules for notice and comment and then consider the comments
when propounding any final rule. In a broadly sweeping
opinion, the Federal Circuit did <i>not</i> say that the
proper steps were followed in the rulemaking for the
domicile address requirement but instead skirted it by
saying, essentially, that the PTO doesn't ever have to
comply with that statutory requirement and therefore can
propound any rule that it wants, for both patents and
trademarks, without any obligation to do any formal
rulemaking at all. Any advance warning or consultation with
the stakeholders about new rules may be a thing of the past.<br>
<br>
The implications of this for both trademark and patent
practitioners is profound. This case is also the only
opportunity to force the PTO to reverse course. If not
challenged, the decision stands and the next person
challenging any egregious rulemaking will have to overcome
this appeals-level precedent.<br>
<br>
I am hoping that those of you who represent clients or
organizations who might be adversely affected by an
unfettered PTO will consider filing a petition in support of
the Supreme Court's grant of certiorari. This is when I need
the most support - we need to convince the Supreme Court
that this case must be heard. This is actually more
important than briefs once cert has been granted. If you'd
like a copy of the petition being filed, write to me
privately and I'll be happy to send you a copy.<br>
<br>
We have asked AIPLA and INTA to support the petition for
cert but they haven't committed yet. If you have any
influence with those organizations, please encourage them to
file a petition in support. I would also ask anyone who is a
member of IPO to ask them to consider supporting the
petition.<br>
<br>
Thanks so much for your past support - I have had many
private comments thanking me and appreciate them all. And
please help me with this one last step.<br>
<br>
