Failure to Timely Respond to Office Action
NexTrend Legal

The purpose of a USPTO office action is to notify the trademark applicant of any problems that occur during the application process. There is a requirement with each office action that the trademark applicant respond to the office action within six months or the application will be considered abandoned. This is a strict deadline that the USTPO sets.
The requirements in order to file a petition to revive an abandoned application for failure to timely respond to an office action are:
Pay the required petition fee set by the USPTO,
A statement that must be signed by someone with firsthand knowledge of the facts that the delay in filing the response on or before the required deadline was unintentional, and
The complete proposed response to the office action.
All three requirements must be met for a petition to be considered by the USPTO.
