The October
2017 Trademark Manual of Examining Procedure (TMEP) is now available. This revision clarifies USPTO
trademark policies and practices and includes relevant Trademark Trial and
Appeal Board and court decisions reported before Sept. 1, 2017.
This
revision supersedes prior versions of the TMEP, examination guides, or any
other statement of USPTO policy to the extent that there is any conflict.
