TTAB: Stipulation for E-mail Service Cannot Retain First-Class Mail Service Response Time | Practical Law
The Trademark Trial and Appeal Board (TTAB) rejected a proposed stipulation that would have allowed the parties to an opposition proceeding to accept service by e-mail but retain the five additional days afforded under Trademark Rule 2.119(c) to file and/or serve any responsive documents that would be provided if the original filing was served by first-class mail.
