`NEWS FROM THE TTAB:
`
`The USPTO published a notice of final rulemaking in the
`Federal Register on August 1, 2007, at 72 F.R. 42242. By
`this notice, various rules governing Trademark Trial and
`Appeal Board inter partes proceedings are amended. Certain
`amendments have an effective date of August 31, 2007, while
`most have an effective date of November 1, 2007. For
`further information, the parties are referred to a reprint
`of the final rule and a chart summarizing the affected
`rules, their changes, and effective dates, both viewable on
`the USPTO website via these web addresses:

`
`By one rule change effective August 31, 2007, the Board's
`standard protective order is made applicable to all TTAB
`inter partes cases, whether already pending or commenced on
`or after that date. However, as explained in the final
`rule and chart, this change will not affect any case in
`
`
`
`which any protective order has already been approved or
`imposed by the Board. Further, as explained in the final
`rule, parties are free to agree to a substitute protective
`order or to supplement or amend the standard order even
`after August 31, 2007, subject to Board approval. The
`standard protective order can be viewed using the following
