`New Developments at the Trademark Trial and Appeal Board
`
`For faster handling of all papers, the TTAB strongly encourages
`electronic filing whenever possible. TTAB forms for electronic
`filings are available at http://estta.uspto.gov. Images of TTAB
`proceeding files can be viewed using TTABvue at
`http://ttabvue.uspto.gov.
`
`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 web address:
