Incase you wondered what those status' mean, here's some definitions.
- "Approved for Publication of Opposition" means that the the USPTO have approved what has been submitted so far, and that the mark will be allowed to be published for opposition. The USPTO normally say to allow two months for the mark to be published for oppoisition. Assuming there are no successful challenges, or that the USPTO do not change there mind, it is after this opposition period that the marks can become registered.
- "Non-Final Action Written" means that a letter from the examining attorney has been sent. The letters is either requesting additional information
and/or making an initial refusal for the application of the specified mark. It is not a final rejection decision.

Two of
Hasbro's trademarks which had been put forward for their sixth year renewal, have now been passed to the paralegal team. If they are happy withh everything, then both marks should have their registrations extended. The marks are for
Thrust and
Soundwave.
The applicstion for
Soundbite, which we recently reported had been assigned to an examiner, has made it past the first stages of registration. The mark has been put into a state of 'LIE', which means it will wait approximatly two months before being published for opposition. At that point, challenges to Hasbros application can be filed. Assuming there are no challenges, or more to the point, no successful challenges, the mark should then become registered. This will probably be between 4 and 6 months from now.

As the old song goes, "there could be trouble ahead....", well if your name is Hasbro and you have plans to release another toy with the name of
Meister. The USPTO (the United States Patent and Trademark Office) have filed "a non-final refusal of the Statement of Use" for the Hasbro application
76596261. What will probably happen is that Hasbro will re-apply for an extended use and the USPTO will accept that extension, or they will keep their current stance and the application will be refused.
