    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>
