Please enter the serial number of the application for which you wish to request
express abandonment. Then, click on the Continue button, below. NOTE: Only one application can be
abandoned at a time; i.e., do not enter multiple serial numbers, but instead submit separate
requests. NOTE: Once you file an express abandonment, it cannot be withdrawn except in an extraordinary
situation upon petition to the Director
under 37 C.F.R. §2.146(a)(3); TMEP §718.01. Also, filing of an
Express Abandonment (Withdrawal) does NOT result in any refund of the original application fee.
The fee is an initial processing fee, which is not refunded later, regardless of any expressed
intent to cease prosecution of the application.
WARNING: Only the applicant or its attorney may request express abandonment (withdrawal) of its own existing application.
