SPECIAL
FORM INSTRUCTIONS: You must provide
the following as part of this submission: (1) a specific statement of
facts that shows that special action is justified; and (2) an
explanation of why special action is requested, e.g., the existence
of actual or threatened infringement or pending litigation over
ownership or use of the mark in the application, or the need for a
U.S. registration as a basis for securing a foreign registration.
NOTE: Invoking supervisory authority to make an application "special"
is an extraordinary remedy that is granted only when very special
circumstances exist, such as a demonstrable possibility of the loss
of substantial rights. A petition to make "special" is
denied when the circumstances would apply equally to a large number
of other applicants.
