The following are special points to bear in mind:
a.
Although the form for filing a notice of
use (Form U) is similar to the application forms, it is different in effect (see Chapter 13). No registration is made, and no certificate is issued. An acknowledgment, similar to a certificate but not under seal, is sent at the time the notice of use is recorded, but there is no provision for furnishing an "additional acknowledgment." A certified (or uncertified) photocopy of the notice itself can be provided, however.b.
For a period of some time after the white application-certificate forms were introduced in 1945-1946, the Office adopted the practice of itself transferring the information from the small pink or blue card applications to the new white forms. The applicant's own application was retained in a special file, and the Office noted the transfer on the white application, which became the record of the entry.
1.
When the Office receives a request for a certified copy of an application in such a case, it should provide a copy of the applicant's own application, rather than the application prepared in this Office.
