In the first article of this three-part series on the Trademark Modernization Act of 2020 ("TMA")1 we shared an overview of this landmark new law and some of the issues the United States Patent and Trademark Office ("USPTO") was to resolve through the rulemaking process before the TMA is fully implemented. With several provisions already in effect, and others set to be in effect at year’s end, we now take a look at the USPTO’s progress in the rulemaking process. Early district court decisions considering the TMA can also shed light on things to come.
