Important
Notice:

(1)
Once you submit a Declaration of Incontestability of a Mark
under Section 15, either electronically or through the
mail, we will not refund your fee, because it is a
processing fee for our substantive review.
(2) All
information you submit to the USPTO at any point in the
application and/or registration process will become public
record, including your name, phone number, email address,
and street address. By filing this document, you
acknowledge and agree that YOU
HAVE NO RIGHT TO CONFIDENTIALITY in
the information disclosed. The public will be able to view
this information in the USPTO's on-line databases and
through internet search engines and other on-line
databases. This information will remain public even if the
application is abandoned or any registration is
surrendered, cancelled, or expired. To maintain
confidentiality of banking or credit card information, only
enter payment information in the secure portion of the site
after validating your form. For any information that may be
subject to copyright protection, by submitting it to the
USPTO, the filer is representing that he or she has the
authority to grant, and is granting, the USPTO permission
to make the information available in its on-line database
and in copies of the application or registration
record.

companies not associated
with the USPTO often use trademark application and
registration information from the USPTO's databases to mail
or email trademark-related solicitations (samples
of non-USPTO solicitations included).
