[E-trademarks] Petition to Make Special - infringement

[Pamela Chestek]

Hi all,

I'd be happy to have anyone's advice on filing a Petition to Make 
Special where the registration is sought to bring an infringement claim. 
The TMEP suggests that the PTO wants to see that a cease and desist 
letter has already been sent, but I'm interested in filing a petition 
where the infringer is not yet on notice of the infringement (the client 
preferring to have the registration in hand before approaching the 
infringer).

Thanks,

Pam
