The Official Gazette is:

Which:

  • Once a trademark application has been examined by a USPTO examining attorney and is found to be entitled to registration, it is published in the Official Gazette of the USPTO.

In addition:

  • The Official Gazette provides anyone who believes they would be damaged by the registration of your published mark an opportunity to challenge your proposed registration.

Plus:

  • Once the trademark has been published in the Official Gazette, anyone who believes that your use of the mark might damage him or her has 30 days in which to file an opposition to your registration. If such an opposition is made, you will be informed and then you must fight it or abandon your trademark.

Finally:

  • If no oppositions are filed, or if any opposition is successfully overcome, the application will proceed to registration.
