<p class="MsoNormal">TBMP Section 211.01 provides for a request for reconsideration of an order of the Board on a request for extension of time to oppose, and advises that there is an ESTTA form for the request for reconsideration. TBMP 211.02 provides for
relief after the institution has been filed and instituted, and includes the following in a footnote:

<p class="MsoNormal">I assume the answer is "No" here, but I thought I'd ask the braintrust just in case.<br>
<br>
Assume someone files a "First 90 Day Request for Extension of Time to Oppose for Good Cause" against your client's trademark application. They choose as the good cause: "The potential opposer is engaged in settlement discussions with applicant". <o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">However, the potential opposer has never contacted us. There are no communications at all, much less an engagement of settlement discussions.<br>
<br>
Is there any recourse here to somehow get the extension rejected, even after it has been automatically approved?<o:p></o:p></p>
