COVID-19 PATENT AND TRADEMARK UPDATE

Last updated August 12, 2021

Remote and onsite consultations available at Beverly Hills office.

United States Patent and Trademark Office Announcement:

USPTO announces relief for delays in filing patent certified copies of foreign priority applications due to the COVID-19 outbreak

The United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) recognizes that the COVID-19 outbreak has imposed significant hardships on many of our stakeholders. In particular, some foreign intellectual property (IP) offices are not currently issuing paper certified copies of foreign applications due to the COVID-19 outbreak. To provide relief to applicants during the outbreak, the USPTO has published an Official Gazette Notice setting forth conditions under which the USPTO will suspend the requirement for filing the certified copy of the foreign application. The application must have been filed in a foreign IP office that does not participate in a bilateral or multilateral priority document exchange program with the USPTO that would cover the application and thus permit retrieval through the program.

United States District Court Central District of California Annoucement:

In connection with Coronavirus COVID-19 pandemic, the United States District Court Central District of Los Angeles, California, issues General Order 20-02 and 02-03 regarding access to court facilities, jury trials and other proceedings.  The Court additionally grants to mediators the authority to excuse a party, a party’s representative, or an attorney from in-person attendance at a mediation conducted under General Order No. 11-10. At the discretion of the assigned mediator, mediations held through the Court’s ADR Program may be conducted by video or telephone conference.
