Abstract
The Patent and Trademark Office (Office) is amending its rules to implement the Trademark Law Treaty Implementation Act of 1998 (TLTIA), Pub. L. 105-330, 112 Stat. 3064 (15 U.S.C. 1051), and to otherwise simplify and clarify procedures for registering trademarks, and for maintaining and renewing trademark registrations. TLTIA implements the Trademark Law Treaty (TLT). TLT is to make the procedural requirements of the different national trademark offices more consistent.
