815.03 Examining Attorney Approves Mark for Issue

Upon approval of the mark for registration, the examining attorney will indicate in the record that the mark has been "Approved for Supplemental Registration" rather than that the mark has been approved for publication. Marks on the Supplemental Register are not published for opposition, but are issued as registered marks on the date that they are printed in the Official Gazette.

Applications on the Supplemental Register are not subject to opposition under 15 U.S.C. 1063, but are subject to cancellation under 15 U.S.C. 1064. 15 U.S.C. 1092.
