What is required to order a free presentation copy?

In the context of ordering a free presentation copy, it is essential to recognize that eligibility is specifically linked to the filing date of the application. The requirement that you must have filed an application before May 24, 2022, indicates that the USPTO has set a cutoff date for which applicants can receive a free presentation copy. This policy is likely aimed at providing resources to those who filed during a certain time frame, possibly to assist with reference materials or educational purposes.

The other options present situations that do not meet the criteria established by the USPTO. For instance, simply receiving a rejection notice or having a pending application does not in itself grant one the right to a free presentation copy. Moreover, the notion that there is no requirement to qualify contradicts the specific terms set by the USPTO regarding the eligibility criteria tied to the filing date. The implications of these rules and their intent emphasize a structured approach to resource allocation for trademark applicants.
