Trademark Office Action Deadline Calculator
Updated November 3, 2026
Find your office action deadline
Enter the issue date shown on the office action (also in TSDR). Results update instantly.
How we calculate: we add calendar months to the issue date (if that day doesn't exist in the target month, we use the month's last day). If a deadline lands on a Saturday or Sunday we show the next Monday, because USPTO filings due on a weekend or federal holiday can be made the next business day (37 CFR 2.196). We don't check federal holidays. This is an estimate, not legal advice. The office action itself controls.
What the deadline means
The USPTO must receive your response or extension request by the deadline. Responses sent by email or fax don't count; file through the USPTO's online Trademark Center or TEAS forms.

Frequently asked questions
Can I get more than one extension?
No. For Section 1 and 44 applications you can request only one 3-month extension per office action.
What if I miss the deadline?
The application is abandoned. You may be able to file a petition to revive within the time the USPTO allows, for a fee.
