Abstract
The Patent and Trademark Office (Office) is amending its rules of practice to specify addresses for agency mail to expedite mail delivery, define ``Federal holiday within the District of Columbia,'' clarify and simplify procedures for filing papers and fees by ``Express Mail,'' and remove certain exclusions from Sec. 1.8(a)(2)(ii) to permit additional trademark documents to be considered timely filed if they are mailed or transmitted by the due date and in compliance with Sec. 1.8(a)(1).
