Adapting to USPTO Rule Changes in 2025: What Trademark Practitioners Need to Know

Last Updated October 2025

 

The practice of trademark prosecution has always required precision, but the changes that took effect at the USPTO in January 2025 decisively changed how that precision is measured. The retirement of the long-familiar TEAS Plus and TEAS Standard filing options, the rollout of the new Trademark Center, the introduction of significant surcharges for incomplete or inefficient applications, and the continued tightening of specimen standards together mark a new era for practitioners.

IPR Just Got Stricter: What the New PTAB Rule Means—and Why Page Vault Already Has You Covered

Last Updated September 2025

 

On July 31, 2025, the USPTO issued a three-page memo instructing the PTAB to stop waiving and start enforcing Rule 42.104(b)(4).

Digital Spoliation Is No Longer Hypothetical: Lessons from Recent Sanctions Over Missing Web Content

Last Updated September 2025

Attorneys understand the duty to preserve evidence under common law and the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. But in today’s digital environment, dynamic web content — websites, social media, ephemeral communications — presents an especially volatile category of electronically stored information (ESI). A Terms of Service page can change without notice. A tweet can disappear overnight. If these losses occur after the duty to preserve arises, courts are no longer hesitant to impose significant sanctions (see Fed. R. Civ. P. 37(e)).

The Minefield of Deleted Posts: When You Don’t Capture It Before It’s Gone

Last Updated September 2025

Online content disappears faster than most realize. A tweet is removed. A website is quietly edited. A post vanishes without notice. If that content becomes relevant to litigation, compliance, or an internal investigation, the opportunity to preserve it may already be lost. Historically, tools like Google’s cache or the Wayback Machine offered a second chance. But that safety net? It’s not holding up anymore.
