<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt">Thanks to all for your support on it. The unhappiest part of the outcome is not about the address requirement, but that the decision in the Federal Circuit, which relieved the PTO of its duty to comply with
notice and comment rulemaking altogether, gives the PTO even more freedom to ignore its constituencies and do whatever it wants. So my effort appears to have been a significant net loss. Expect to see more capricious rule changes without even an opportunity
to comment. <br>
<br>
But I'm optimistic that the patent side will continue to fight the good fight - they are treated even more cavalierly than we are on the trademark side. Here's hoping that eventually this agency will realize that it will perform better if it works with us towards
a common good, rather than solely pursuing its own self-interest using tunnel vision.<br>

<span style="color:blue">U.S. Patent and Trademark Office</span></a> is required to solicit public feedback before enacting a rule that requires trademark applicants to list their home addresses.<br>
<br>
The May cert petition from Chestek PLLC, a small North Carolina firm, argued the address requirement the USPTO enacted a few years ago was too important to be decided by the government agency alone. But the justices declined to hear the matter and provided
no explanation for their decision.<br>
<br>
Chestek raised public <b><a href="https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__www.law360.com_articles_1837556&d=DwMFaQ&c=euGZstcaTDllvimEN8b7jXrwqOf-v5A_CdpgnVfiiMM&r=BD_ODyCnGyM4QYkJS4ogIYzIigAHSpBLLoEgzCd9OOE&m=P6wJhO25ukGGInnvzpSL_RNhfQPvYJ6Yz07UFH7W-r4lxMK9CN5FWlQsyonKPfbb&s=VOo0TF9QKW83ILhPUl2QDbxF4lqmDYxl1_NSolJrYJA&e="><span style="color:blue">safety</span></a> </b>concerns,
saying "the home addresses of victims of domestic violence and stalking, as well as celebrities and other public figures" would be publicized because of the requirement.<br>
