Amendment to my earlier post
I did also add it to the original post about copyright, but in case people haven't gone back, here it is again...
Someone pointed out something about my post in the a.g.f newsgroup:
"This is not the only way [filing an objection form]. In fact filing an opposition is very expensive. An opposition proceeding is a full-scale inter partes proceeding before an administrative law judge based on evidence found during a discovery period. You would expect to spend a couple of thousand dollars
A cheaper way is to send a letter of protest (TMEP 1715.txt) Do a search for it at USPTO. You will need to send evidence that the term is generic. Stick to the evidence in the case and don't state opinions in your
letter.
Hope this can save you a couple of bucks"
