A: Claiming a "Status 602 - Abandoned-Failure To Respond Or Late Response" in a trademark application or registration involves several crucial steps. First, you should access your USPTO account and review the current status of your trademark. It's essential to carefully examine any correspondence or notices from the USPTO to understand why the abandonment or late response occurred.

If you believe the abandonment was due to an oversight or error and you wish to maintain your trademark, you should take prompt action to address the issue. This typically involves submitting the required response or documentation as outlined in the USPTO's communication. Ensure that any associated fees are paid as specified.

A: To claim a "Status 602 - Abandoned-Failure to Respond or Late Response" in a trademark case, you would need to have failed to respond to an action from the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) in the allotted time frame or not responded at all. To rectify this, you might consider filing a petition to revive the application, assuming that the failure to respond was unintentional. Be aware that there are specific timelines and fees associated with this petition, and it's important to adhere to the USPTO's guidelines and requirements.
