<p>&nbsp;

<strong >2. Priority Action</strong>

A priority action issues after the examining attorney consults with the applicant regarding problems with the application. &nbsp;&nbsp;This will include the reason why registration is being refused or how to satisfy certain application requirements. &nbsp;Unlike an examiner’s amendment, the applicant must respond to a priority action within 6 months from the date the priority action is issued or the application will be abandoned.&nbsp;</p>
