Trademark Basics Boot Camp, Module 6: Responding to an office action

Are you a small business owner or entrepreneur interested in learning about trademarks and how to apply for a federal registration? If so, this event is a must-attend. In this sixth module of our eight-part virtual Trademark Basics Boot Camp, we’ll focus on responding to office actions, the official letters that USPTO examining attorneys issue after reviewing your trademark application. The event is free, but space is limited, so register early.

This module will cover the following topics:

• Trademark basics
• Office action basics
• Response timeframes and deadlines
• Filing a response
• Tips for a successful response
• Finding help

This module will be presented live via Webex from 2-3:30 p.m. ET Tuesday, November 10, 2026, and will conclude with a question-and-answer session. Please register by November 9.

Be sure to check out our other boot camp modules running consecutively every week for the eight-week duration. You can attend the whole series or just the specific modules that best meet your needs. Separate registration is required for each module. After each event, we'll email attendees links to a video recording of the module and a PDF of the presentation materials. You will only receive access to the recording if you attend that module.
