What are abandoned marks?
An application that has been declared abandoned is "dead" and no longer pending with the trademark Office. Abandonment occurs under several circumstances. The most common reason for abandonment is when the Office rejects an application and requires the applicant or its representative to respond. If the applicant's response to the Office action is not received within the prescribed period set in the Office action, the application will be declared abandoned or rejected.
