Ah, same “miscellaneous” section but the next form is “Express Abandonment”.

Thanks,

Mark

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