* Trademark Preliminary Amendment

This Is Our “17 Seconds” Newsletter #122: 17 Seconds = Useful Info Quickly.

Preliminary amendments, as the name suggests, can only be filed before the USPTO has acted on the application.

In this case, amending the later-filed application can preemptively avoid the same problems that the earlier-filed application encountered.
