Something similar recently happened with one of our clients. So how do attorneys keep their names as counsel/correspondence of record on registrations between the registration date and maintenance/renewal filings?

Hi Lori, When a cancellation is filed, since it is post-registration, the Board does not send to the AOR “on file” because technically that power of attorney ended at the time of registration. So, the notice is sent directly to the registrant’s address. Ther

Hi Lori,
When a cancellation is filed, since it is post-registration, the Board does not send to the AOR “on file” because technically that power of attorney 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.
You may be able to move to vacate the default depending on how long it has been.

Subject: [E-trademarks] Cancellation of registration without knowledge
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.
The client says they did not remove me. Anyone have any advice or have any insight as to how I could have been deleted as the attorney of record? (The third party’s application is still suspended for other “legal proceedings” despite my client’s registration being cancelled.)
