[E-trademarks] Abandonment during black-out window

[Crane, Susan]

It’s not an amendment, it’s an express abandonment. Are you sure you cannot file that during the black out window?

Subject: [E-trademarks] Abandonment during black-out window

Owner of confusingly similar trademark agrees to abandon the application, a few days before the first extension of time to oppose expires. But of course, they can’t file a Voluntary Amendment Form during the period between approval for publication

Owner of confusingly similar trademark agrees to abandon the application, a few days before the first extension of time to oppose expires. But of course, they can’t file a Voluntary Amendment Form during the period between approval for publication and registration/notice of allowance.  I’d prefer actual withdrawal over an agreement to withdraw… I’m wondering what’s the next best step (other than pay for the 60-day extension to oppose).

Thanks,
Mark
