ended at the time of registration. So, the notice is sent directly to the registrant’s address. There is language on this in the TBMP and/or TMEP.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;mso-ligatures:standardcontextual">Anyone ever have a fairly recent registration cancelled by the USPTO without your knowledge? My client discovered it. A petition for cancellation was filed and my client
defaulted and the USPTO cancelled the registration pretty quickly. I checked to see why I did not receive any notice, and discovered the USPTO record says “Attorney of Record – NONE” which is very strange. I have always been the attorney of record from application
through registration, when the Certificate was sent to me. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
