`
`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:
`http://www.uspto.gov/web/offices/com/sol/notices/72fr42242.pdf
`http://www.uspto.gov/web/offices/com/sol/notices/72fr42242_FinalR
`uleChart.pdf
`
`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 web address:
