About this Gig
A "Specimen Refusal" is the most common roadblock for e-commerce, Shopify, and Amazon sellers. The USPTO is extremely strict about how your trademark appears on products or websites.
If your specimen was rejected for being a mockup, digitally altered, ornamental, or failing to show a direct connection to the goods/services, I can help.
I am Catherine Noveck, a licensed US Attorney (Bar #353220). I specialize in resolving specimen refusals quickly and legally.
How I Help:
- Audit: Tell you exactly why the USPTO rejected your photo/website.
- Guidance: Guide you on exactly how to take a proper, legally compliant photograph of your product, tag, or website.
- Drafting: Draft the formal legal response, including the mandatory sworn declarations required when submitting a Substitute Specimen.
- Ornamentation: Draft arguments if your mark was rejected as merely a "decorative feature" on a shirt/mug.
Avoid abandonment due to simple technical errors. I provide all legal drafting and document preparation required to fix your specimen issues.

FAQ
Why did the USPTO say my specimen is digitally altered?
The USPTO routinely rejects photos that look like digital mockups or Photoshop. You must provide a raw, real-world photograph of the product or its packaging.
If I take a new photo, can I just upload it?
No. You must file a formal response and sign a specific legal declaration stating the new specimen was in use before a specific legal date. I draft this for you.
Do you provide the photos for the specimen?
No, you must take the photos of your actual product. I will guide you on exactly how the photo needs to look to be legally accepted by the USPTO.
