An Office Action is an official letter from the USPTO illustrating legal problems with your trademark application. It requires a response to avoid abandonment of your application.
It typically means the USPTO considers your mark 'descriptive' rather than 'distinctive'. Moving to the Supplemental Register allows you to register, but with fewer rights than the Principal Register.
A disclaimer is a statement that you do not claim exclusive rights to a specific generic or descriptive word within your mark (e.g., 'Coffee' in 'Bob's Coffee'). You still own the mark as a whole.
Approximately 63% of trademark applications receive an initial refusal or Office Action from the USPTO.
Currently, you typically have 3 months to respond to an Office Action. Failure to respond by the deadline results in the abandonment of your application.
If you do not respond by the deadline, your application will be declared 'abandoned' by the USPTO, and your application fee will not be refunded.
