[E-trademarks] Letter of Protest: anonymous?

[Judith S]

Hi All,

I have a small client who is contemplating filing a Letter of Protest
against a larger competitor who filed a trademark for a term they consider
generic or descriptive of the technology they use.

They are concerned that if they are identified as the "Protestor" there
might be retaliation.

The "Name of Protestor" field instruction says "Enter the full legal name
of the entity objecting to the registration of a mark in a pending
application, i.e., the name of the individual, corporation, partnership, or
other entity that is protesting registration of a mark, NOT the person or
firm completing the Letter of Protest."

Could we use the name of the in-house attorney who is initiating the
objection or some other name?

Thanks for any insight.

Judith
