to the USPTO. He never reported that to the client and never reported that it had gone abandoned. He even later filed a non-provisional claiming benefit to the provisional (after it had been abandoned) before ceasing all communication with them.<u></u><u></u></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">I have a small client that came to me with some abandoned cases they hope to revive. Their prior counsel has disappeared -- he has been completely unresponsive. So I cannot get anything from him. (I am filing a bar complaint, because this
is unconscionable -- one was abandoned because of failure to respond to a Missing Parts for $80 for a late declaration surcharge.)<u></u><u></u></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">They thought they were coming to me with pending applications.<u></u><u></u></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">Some of the earlier filings have been abandoned for more than two years, and they requested that I file a petition to revive with a statement. I have not done that before, and was wondering if anyone had a good example or article about
it since the new rules.<u></u><u></u></p>
