<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:black">Has anyone dealt with the issue of trying to record a security agreement with the USPTO against in-bound Madrid/66(a) registrations? The PTO’s system flatly blocks
you from proceeding through the form because the serial number triggers the prohibition on recording assignments against 66(a) registrations.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:black">However, WIPO does not seem to have a mechanism to record security agreements (unless I’m missing it).<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:black">The situation likely does not qualify for submission per 37 CFR 7.24, where the PTO must under limited conditions forward the request filed with the PTO through to
the IB, particularly where there is a court order to do so, or an inability to obtain the signature of the holder on a WIPO form.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
