106 The Official Gazette

The Official Gazette, issued every Tuesday, is a publication of the USPTO. Since February 2, 1971, the Official Gazette has been separated into two parts, one designated the Patent Official Gazette and the other the Trademark Official Gazette.

The Trademark Official Gazette ("TMOG") contains an illustration of each mark published for opposition on the Principal Register, marks registered on the Principal Register under 15 U.S.C. 1051(d), and marks registered on the Supplemental Register on the date of the particular issue in which the marks appear.

The TMOG also includes general information such as notices of changes in rules or Office procedures; notices to parties who cannot be reached by mail; and indices of trademark registrations issued, renewed, cancelled, amended or corrected on the date of the particular issue in which the marks appear, with an index of registrants.

Effective July 15, 2003, the USPTO publishes the TMOG only in electronic format. See notice at 68 Fed. Reg. 37803 (June 25, 2003), at http://www.uspto.gov/web/offices/com/sol/notices/68fr37803.pdf. However, annual subscriptions or single copies of the TMOG in hard copy (Stock No. 703-034-00000-4) may still be purchased from the United States Government Printing Office ("GPO") at http://bookstore.gpo.gov. GPO's general information telephone numbers are (202) 512-1800 and (866) 512-1800.
