Attention: Michelle Gloor
Dear Representative Farenthold:
Thank you for your letter on behalfofMs. Banger Shia regarding the Trademark Office's decision to
exclude her from participating as acorrespondent or domestic representative in any trademark matter
before the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).
Areview of USPTO records reveals that in December 2011 information was brought to the attention of
the Administrator ofTrademark Policy and Procedure that raised aquestion as to whether Ms. Shia might
be engaged in the unauthorized practice oflaw before the USPTO. The USPTO conducted an
investigation which revealed over 230 trademark applications and registrations belonging to third parties
in whose cases Ms. Shia was identified as acorrespondent or domestic representative. In anumber of
those cases, Ms. Shia was found to have responded to Office actions on behalfofthe applicants or
registrants in violation of USPTO rules. With narrow exceptions not relevant here, only licensed U.S.
attorneys may practice law in trademark matters before the USPTO. 37 C.F.R. 11.5(b)(2), 11.14. A
domestic representative may receive communications from the USPTO on behalfofthe applicant, but
may not prosecute the application. 37 C.F.R. 2.119. USPTO records did not show Ms. Shia as an
attorney and this raised concerns about whether or not she acted beyond the scope ofacorrespondent and
domestic representative by engaging in the unauthorized practice oflaw in trademark matters.
On January 23,2012, and in accordance with standard Trademark practices, the USPTO sent Ms. Shia a
letter informing her that the USPTO was considering excluding her from participating as acorrespondent
or domestic representative in any trademark matters. The USPTO gave Ms. Shia time :o explain the
legitimacy of her actions. Ms. Shia responded to the letter but did not indicate that she was an attorney.
Based on Ms. Shia's response and information before the USPTO, the Commissioner Par Trademarks
found that Ms. Shia was engaging in the unauthorized practice oflaw. Therefore, on February 21,2013,
the Commissioner for Trademarks informed Ms. Shia in a written order that she was excluded from
participating as acorrespondent or domestic representative in any trademark matter before the USPTO.
The order notified Ms. Shia that she could appeal the exclusion order by filing a petition to the Director of
the USPTO.
On March 19,2013, Ms. Shia filed apetition contesting the exclusion order. The petition was sent by US
Postal Service and contained a check for the filing fee in the amoum of$100, The petition was docketed
by the USPTO, hut the check was not immediately cashed. Subsequently, Ms. Shia twice filed
substantially the same petition electronically through the Trademark Electronic Application System
(TEAS), on April 10 and 11, 2013. In filing the petitions through TEAS, Ms. Shia again paid the $100
petition fee for each ofthe subsequently filed petitions.

The USPTO was aware ofthe duplicative petitions; however, itwas only upon receipt ofyour letter that
the USPTO realizad Ms. Shia had paid the additional petition fees. While the Trademark Rules require a
separate petition fee for every petition filed, in view ofthe fact that the two later petitions filed by Ms.
Shia address substantially the same issues as the March 19,2013, petition, and will be resolved in one
decision, the additional petition fees have been refunded to Ms. Shia.
The petitions are currently being reviewed and adecision on them will issue in the near future.
We trust the foregoing will be useful inresponding toyour constituent.

Dana Robert Colarulli

DearMr. Shia;
Thisletter is to inform you that,for the reasons set forth below, the United States Patent and
Trademark Office (USPTO) isconsidering excluding you from participation as acorre-spondenl
or domestic representativein any trademark matters before the USPTO.
The USPTO'srecords indicate that you havebeen involved withmore than 230trademark
applications or registrations. Specifically, these applications and registrations, which belong to
various entities and individuals other than yourself, list you asthe correspondent End/or domestic
representative. Inaddition, an e-mail address containing your name istypically provided inthese
applications and registrations for purposes ofcorrespondence. In some instances your signature
appears in the application record. A listofrelevant application serial numbers isattached and is
current upto December 2011. Please notethatanyother relevant applications filed
subsequently, or otherwise notincluded on the attached list, are also subject tothe actions
described below.
Although USPTO records show that you are a registered patent agent, the USPTO has round no
indication thatyou areanattorney authorized to practice before theUSPTO in trademark
matters. Furthemiorc, your relationship to these various applicants and registrants isunclear,
which calls into question the purpose ofdirecting all application-related correspondence to you.
The circumstances suggest that youarepreparing trademark filings tobe submitted to the
USPTO or are otherwise acting on behalfof applicants in connection with thereferenced
applications. Ifso, these actions may constitute the unauthorized practice of trademark law
before the USPTO. S'ee37C.F.R. 11.5(b)(2), 11.14;TMEP 608.'
Therefore, you are hereby provided 14 calendar days to show cause why the USPTO should not
cease use ofyour contact infomiation for correspondence and prohibit participation by you as a
conespondent ordomestic representative in any trademark cases before the USPTO. Any such
showing should include evidence for each case that demonstrates the legitimacy ofusing your
contact information forpurposes of correspondence relating to trademark matters.
' Please note ihai 'TMEP" identifies the Trademark Manual ofExamining Procedure (8tli cd.), available online at

The alleged facts presently under consideration are as follows:

A.) You are an agent registered to practice before the Office in patent matters and
have -.he registration number 57,568.
B.) You not licensed to practice law in any jurisdiction within the United Slates.
C.) You are not permitted to practice before the Office in non-patent matters under
37 C.F.R. 11.14(b).
D.) On January 23,2012, the Commissioner for Trademarks issued yo j aShow
Cause Requirement Riving you The opportunity to Show cause the USPTO
should not cease use of your contact information for correspondence inany
trademark matter before the USPTO. This action was taken based upon more
than 230 trademark applications orregistrations which belonged to various
entities other than you, and listed you as the correspondent and/or domestic
representative. (A copy ofwhich is attached hereto and incorporated by
reference herein as Exhibit A)
E) Under 37 C.F.R. 2.193 Trademark

correspondence

and signature

requirements:
(c) Requirements for electronic signature. Aperson signing adocument
electronically must:
(1) Personally enter any combination ofletters, numbers, spaces and/or
punctuation marks that he or she has adopted as a signature, placed
between two forward slash ("/") symbols in the signature block on the
electronic submission; or
(2) Sign the verified statement using some other form ofelectronic
signature specified by the Director.
(d) Signatory must be identified. The name ofthe person who signs a
documentin connection with a trademark application,registration, or
proceeding before the Trademark Trial and Appeal Board must beset
forth in printed ortyped form immediately below or adjacent tothe
signature, or identified elsewhere in thefiling (e.g., in a cover letter or
other document that accompaniesthe filing). (Emphasis added).
F.) TMEP 611.01 (c) Signature ofDocuments filed Electronically states:
All documents must be personally signed. 37 C.F.R. 2.193(aXl), (c)(1),
11.18(a). The person(s) identified as the signatory must manually enter the
elements of the electronic signature. Anotherperson (e.g., paralegal, legal
assistant, or secretary) may not sign the name of a qualified practitioner or
other auAorized signatory. See In re Dermahose Inc.^ 82 USPQ2d 1793
(TTAB 2007;,- In re Cowan^ 18 USPQ2d 1407 (Comm'r Pats. 1990).Just as
Mr. Bang-erShia
G2081
signing the name ofanother person on paper does not serve as the signature of
the person whose name is written, typing the electronic signature ofanother
person is not avalid signature by that person.
G.) In your response, dated January 27,2012, (a copy ofwhich is attached hereto and
incorporated by reference herein as Exhibit B) to the Show Cause issued by the
Commissioner for Trademarks, you stated atpage 3,that:
The truth is for foreign applicants, itis the local services that help prepared (sic)
all papers to be filed to foreign countries (such as US, Russian, Japan, etc.). Local
services help applicants to make ready-to-file papers (including drawing,
translation from Chinese to different languages and customization to foreign filing
requirements). T.ncal TW/CN services will not have US representatives to share
the work in preparing official papers as well as the profits. (Underscoring in
original). .
H.) It is assumed by virtue of your statement as quoted above that the "local services
are not provided to foreign applicant/owners by those who meet the definition of
being authorized to practice before the Office as defined in 37 C.F.R. 11.5. This
assumption is based upon the idea that ifthe providers ofsuch "local services" were
authorized todo so, they would then file the various papers themselves rather than
go through, what may seem to be an apparent charade of, an applicant'owner
facially filing pro se and then appointing you merely for acorrespondence address
or domestic representative.
I.) By your statement, it would then eonear that you admit to knowing that the
applications or papers filed by yotrwere prepared by a"local service' which did not
employ and utilize the services ofsomeone authorized to practice before the Office.
J.) Any practitioner would be aiding in the unauthorized practice oflaw before the
Office whenever he was acting on behalt ot an applicant/owner in anycapacity,
knowing that the application was drafted, or otherwise services were rendered, by
someone not authorized to do so in nontraventioc iif 37 C.F.R. 11.5.
K.y Additionally, in that same response, you also stated that:
All Trademark papers, sent to the USPTO by the undersigned, prepared
byforeign Applicants at their local residences inTaiwan or China, as
evidenced bytheattached files. (Emphasis in original).
L.) One ofthe "files'* attached included a document dated December 5,2011, that
appears tobear a fax designation on the top indicating "Dec. 05,2011 16:42 P3."
(Copy of "Power oi US Representative for Trademark Amendment Filing*' is

applicant (sic) to file on Applicant's behalphe following amendment, upon whom
notice or process in the proceedings affecting the mark may be served.
(Underscoring inoriginal).
N.) The electronic file for serial number 79,101428 reflects the response to the
Office Action for Trademark Application Serial Number 79,101,128 containing a
signature ofCai Mei Yue. (Copy ofResponse to Office Action attached hereto and
incorporated by reference as Exhibit D).
0.) That document appearsUo be from you or at least your computer in Sugarland,
Texas.
P.) Accordingly, this investigation has afocus, inter allay whether or hot you, rather
than the applicant/owner, filed this document on December 7,2011. hwas only on
that dale that you were added for correspondence purposes to the application, which
was purportedly filed by the applicant/owner.
Q.) By the appearance that you filed the Change of Correspondence Address at the
same tims as you filed the Responses to Office action, even ifyou did not draft
them, we are also investigating whether you may havp assistPcHomgongin tiie-
unauthorized practice oflaw, and also may have filieÂplâdJng in violation ofthe

Correspondence Address" from the electronic file for serial number 79,101,128 is
attached hereto and incorporated byreference asExhibit E).
R.) Another of the "files" attached to your response to the Show Cause Requirement
included a "Statement of Use" dated December 30,2010 and executed by"Tseng,
Ming-Yi" as "Chairman" of"Yea Jann Industrial Co.. LTD" For Trademark
Application Serial No. 77/955,711. (Copy of"Statement ofUse" attached to your
response dated January 27,2012, is attached hereto and incorporated by reference

S.) The statement ofuse that was filed electronically in serial number 77/955,711, as
well as the application itself (which bears the electronic signature of"Cherng
Yang" as Director), appears to have been also filed from a computer inthe U.S. -
Sugarland, Texas. The investigation then, inter alia, will focus on whether you
filed the statementjjf use and the applicauon m serial-opmber 77/955,711.

SECOND REQUEST FOR INFORMATION AND EVIDENCE UNDER 37 CJ.R.

11.22(F)
Dear Mr. Shia:
On November 8,2012. the Office ofEnrollment and Discipline ("OED") received

information contained in both aShow Cause issued by the Commissioner for
dated January 23,2012, and your response to that Show Cause, dated January ^7,2012,
regarding anumber ofTrademark matters. You allegedly filed papers on behaifofan
owner/applicant when you were not authori^ to a c t
37 C.F.R.11.5, and were not allowed to file/sign under 37 C.F.R. 2.193 T.
611 01(c). OED then initiated this investigation on November 13,2012, mfile "^êr
0-2081 Dursuant to 37 C.F.R. 11.22. Based upon the information contamed aiboth the
SowcSId by the Colissioner for Trademarks dated January 23,2012 and your
response to that Show Cause, dated January 27,2012, OED made aRequest For Information
("RFI") dated December 5,2012.
In that request you were told that "tw]e are conducting an impartial and unbiêd
investigation pursuant to 37 C.F.R. 11.22 based on the mformauon we received. The
information OED received on November 8,2012. was the Show Cause <ss"ed to you and
your response to it. The Show Cause itselfand the actions that may be taken by the
Lmmissioner for Trademarks that may result from your response are outside the jurisdiction
and purview ofthis office. But the actions alleged and the response made by you appear to
be within the exclusive disciplinary jurisdiction ofOED. The
orescnted in the Show Cause and your response thereto are the subject ofthe investigation.
TOs inquiry is well within the statute oflimitations for such adisciplinary investigation as
first coming to the attention ofOED in November 2012.
In your reply dated December 8,2012, you failed to respond to any ofthe reqaests for
infLation tendered to you by RFl dated December 5,2012. Instead, you filed what you
have termed as a"Motion to Dismiss Request for Information/Lvidence and asserted 23

numbered paragraphs in support ofthat Motion. As paragraphs 1,2,4,5,6,8,10,12, all

deal with your objections in some fashion or another to the Show Cause, they will not be
addressed. This isbecause the Show Cause itself has no relevance to this investigation other
than the truthfulness of the facts that are contained therein and your response as itaddressed
the conduct which was asserted inthe Show Cause. The facts stated in the initial RFl, at
letters Athrough W, (now Ithrough XX below) constitute what is currently understood by
OED. The questions based upon those asserted facts were posed in the RFI at questions
numbered 1through 7 and are the focus ofthis investigation. Therefore only those
paragraphs in your reply dated December 8,2012, that address the RFI will be responded to
herein:
A. Your paragraph 3 asserts that OED lacks jurisdiction "to hear non-patent matter
over ;hc undersigned." That issue was addressed infacts inthe initial RFI
assened atparagraphs A, B, C, (now I, II, and III as renumbered below) and that
both you personally as a registered practitioner as well as the disciplinar>'
investigation ofpossible misconduct fall under the authority ofthe OED Director
as set forth in 35 U.S.C. 2(b)(2)(D) by 37 C.F.R. 11.2(b)(4).
B. Your paragraph 7 asserts that "the Request fails the statute oflimitations." At
page 7ofthe RFI your attention was called to "the AIA's amendment of
35 U.S.C. 32, [and asa consequence] the USPTO is adding to 37 C.F.R. 11.34
a new subsection (e) in recognition that the new one-year period of the statute of
limitations may require the filing ofa complaint against a practitioner..." Itis
again noted that the information upon which this investigation was initiated was
brought to the attention ofOED on November 8,2012, and therefore iswell
within the one year statute of limitations established by the Americs Invents Act.
C. You appear to assert the Fifth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution in your
paragraph 9when you state "that the Request is unconstitutional, impinging on
theFifth Amendment." If you arc truly asserting a Fifth Amendment privilege,
please do so in response to each question individually so your reliance upon such
a privilege claim may be specifically identified and recognized toward e.xactly
that question for which it is asserted. Itisimportant for you to identify exactly
which facts are alleged to be privileged under the Fifth Amendment. As youwere
notified at page 6 of the RFI, "anadverse inference may be drawn from a failure
on your part to respond and rebut ordispute evidence or information provided and
relied upon. See, Baxter v. Palmigiano, 425 U.S. 308,96S.Ct. 1551,47 L.Ed.2d
810 (1976)."'
' "Thus, aside from the privilege against compelled seir-incrimination, the Court has consisterlly
recognized that in proper circumstanccs silence in the face ofaccusation isa relevant fact not barred from
evidence bythe Due Process Clause." Id.at 319,96 S.Ct. at 1558. (Emphasis added).

Mr. Bang-er Shia

D. Contrary to your assertion at your paragraph 11, the RFI does not state anything
that would call into question arightful appointment to act as a"foreign
correspondent" as you call it, but more accurately as a"Domestic Representative"
appointed under 37 C.F.R. 2.24. The subject ofthe inquiry is not your
designation as adomestic representative and your ability to act as the local
correspondence address for aforeign applicant, but rather your actions that may
qualify as the practice of law as stated in the RFI and defined in
37 C.F.R. 11.14 (b) and the possible improper electronic signature.
E. At paragraph 13 of your December 8,2012 letter, you submit that the RFI
"uncon-stitutionally denies the legality ofaPower ofAttorney and the rights ofan
Attomey-in-fact." OED maintains that the RFI, and the investigation, does
nothing to affect avalid power ofattorney, rather OED is focused upon conduct
that may be prohibited by the Disciplinary Rules of the United States Patent and
Trademark Office Code ofProfessional Responsibility with particular attention to
those facts that might comprise the unauthorized practice oflaw and the possible
improper electronic signature.
F. You have asserted at your paragraph 14 that the RFI "unconstitutionally denies or
questions the legality ofan electronic signature, violating US Federal law ESIGN
(US Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce) Act." OED
contends that your assertion is incorrect in that the RFI does not question the legal
effect or enforceability ofthe electronic signatures under question, rather OED is
investigating the authenticity ofthose signatures affixed electronically.
ESIGN Act, 15 use 7001(a), states that the purpose ofthe act is:
(a) In general
Notwithstanding any statute, regulation, or other rule oflaw [other than

this subchapter and subchapter II ofthis chapter), with respect to any
transaction in or affecting interstate or foreign commerce
(1) asignature, contract, or other record relating to such transaction may
not be denied legal effect, validity, or enforceability solely because itis in
electronic form; and
(2) acontract relating to such transaction may not be denied legal effect,
validity, orenforceability solely because an electronic signature or
electronic record was used in its formation.
Thus, the ESIGN Act protects the validity ofan c-signcd document assuming itis
a validly signed version ofthe document tendered electronically. The exceptions
under thestatute confirm thevalidity of USPTO regulation imposing the strictures
TBSpSSeBPs

that require the applicant to be the signer electronically ofthe document. The
statute sets forth, that:
15 use 7001(b) Preservation ofrights and obligations

Thissubchapter does not
(1) limit, alter, or otherwise affect any requirement imposed by astatute,

regulation, or rule oflaw relating to the rights and obligations ofpersons
under such statute, regulation, or rule oflaw other than a requirement that
contracts orother records bewritten, signed, or in nonelectronic form.
As such, the requirements imposed by 37 C.F.R. 2.193 addressing Trademark
correspondence and signature requirements and TMEP 611.01(c) Signature of
Documents filed Electronically are essentially approved. Those requirements are
not altered nor even affected by the enactment upon which you rely as a basis for
refusing to respond to OED*s request for information in an investigation into the
authenticity ofthe electronically affixed signatures on the Trademark applications
in question.
G. Your paragraph 15 states that: "the Request is overruled, continued in prosecution
for the vacated Show Cause violating due process." By that, OED understands
that you contend the Show Cause is vacated and therefore no longer subject to
action. Without venturing anopinion about the validity of thatargument, it begs
the issue herein presented through the investigation ofyour conduct before the
Office. As statedabove, OED has no input nor interest in the result of the Show
Cause, rather our concern lies with the conduct alleged and your response thereto
as a foundation for initiating this investigation.
H. To the extent that your paragraphs 16 and 17 reiterate, in merely another form, the
matters addressed in your paragraphs 3and 7, they were answered inparagraphs
A and B above and those paragraphs should be read as if fully restatsd herein in
response to your paragraphs 16 and 17.
I. You appear to raise the issue ofadmissibility into evidence ofcertain matters that
you claim are "self-incriminating from athird person" in your paragraph 18. You
fail to specify to which "admissions" you refer, but itis ofno consideration at this
stage ofthe investigation, which is to fairly investigate all facts that may sunround
the issue presented asthe unauthorized practice of non-patent law before the
Office and possible deceitful misconduct in improperly signingdocuments
submitted electronically to the Office. Should you contend that any so-called
"admission" by a "third party" is inadmissible, it should be raised with
particularity ina response tothe RFl, but may not be relied upon as a valid reason
RESPONDEKTS
EXHIBIT
Mr. Bang-er Shia

FileNo.G2081
to fail to respond. OED would assert the evidentiary position that any
"admission" ofa"self-incriminating "nature from athird party, or anyone for tot
matter, is an admission against interest and thus admissible as an exception to the
hearsay rule. . , , .
J Your paragraph 19 alludes to 37 C.F.R. 11.5 and asserts that the RFl is
"unconstitutionally self-incriminating against the Office" and in violation ofthat
rule It escapes this w^riter how an RFl may be "self-incriminating against the
Office" and how any RFl may run afoul ofthat rule. 37 C.F.R. 11.5 merely
defines what constitutes practice before the Office and establishes the register of
oatent agents and attorneys entitled to practice in patent matters. Insofar as it
contains asubsection, (b)(2). which defines the specific "Practice before the
Office in trademark matters" that section comprises one basis for this
investigation into whether or not you are authorized to practice before the Office
in trademark because you are not alicensed attorney regardless ofwhether or not
you may have signed any documents improperly.
K. At your paragraph 20 you appear to assert attorney -client privilege when you are
L Paragraph 21 ofyour letter again raises the alleged inadmissibility o: hearsay
evidence which has been addressed above in paragraph 1, and that paragraph
should be read as iffully restated herein in response to paragraph 21.
MAt your paragraph 22 you state "that alleged facts and Exhibits in the Request are
unconstitutionally induced under compulsory;" (sic).With due respect, the
sentence appears incomplete and does not lend itselfto an understanding ofany
argument that might support arefusal to respond to the RFl.
N Finally at your paragraph 23, you assert that the "inferences and alleged facts
presented in the Request are circumstantial, insufficient to establish probable
cause against the undersigned." The nature ofthe "facts" as you contend is what
is requested ofyou to explain and at this time there is no burden ofproofother
than the basis for undertaking this investigation under 37 C.F.R. 11.22(a). The
ofwhether ornot probable cause exists, ifthat is the opinion ofthe
OED Director and he seeks the decision ofthe Committee on Discipline ("COD")
under 37 C.F.R. 11.22(h)(3), will fall to the COD as provided for under
37 C.F.R. 11.23(b).
The initial Request for Information dated December 5,2012, is renewed and restated herein
with the recommendation that you respond with complete candor and specifici:y. To fail to

For convenience the facts currently under consideration are restated more succinctly and
renumbered from the initial RFl asfollows:
1. You are en agent registered to practice before the Office in patent matters and have
11 YOTî^1Io?iicens^'to practicelawinanyjurisdiction within the United States.
III". You are not permitted to practice before the Office in non-patent matters under
37 C F R n.l4 (b).
IV On January 23,2012, the Commissioner for Trademarks issued you aShow Cause
Requiremern giving you the opportunity to show cause why the USPTO should not
ceê use ofyour contact information for correspondence in any trademark matter
before the USPTO. This action was taken based upon more than 230 trademark
applications or registrations which belonged to various entities other than you, and
listed you as the correspondent and/or domestic representative. (A copy ofwhich is
attached hereto and incorporated by reference herein as Exhibit A)
V Under 37 C.F.R. 2.193 Trademark correspondence and signature requirements are
to be personally affixed by the person making that representation to the Office and
identified as who they purport to be. ^ . -.l

Cause issued by the Commissioner for Trademarks, you stated at page 3, that;
The truth is for foreign applicants, it is the local services that help prepared (sic)
all papers to be filed to foreign countries (such as US, Russian, Japan, etc.). Local
services help applicants to make ready-to-file papers (including drawing,
translation from Chinese to different languages and customization to foreign filing
requirements), t nMl TW/CN services will not have US representatives to share
ihe work in DrpnarinB ofTicial papers aswell as the profits. (Underscoring in
original).
Vill. Additionally, in that same response, you also stated that:

All Trademark papers, sent to the USPTO by the undersigned, prepared

byforeign Applicants at their local residences in Taiwan orChina, as
evidenced by the attached files. (Emphasis inoriginal).
IX. One ofthe "files" attached included a document dated December 5,2011, that
appears to bear afax designation on the top indicating "Dec. 05,2011 16:42 P3,"
below which is written "79,101,128." (Copy of"Power ofUS Representative for
Trademark Amendment Filing" isattached hereto and incorporated byreference as
Exhibit C).
X. It purports to have "authorized Dr. Banaer Shia with legal authority to bind
applicant to file on Applicant's behalf the following amendment, upon whom notice
or process in the proceedings affecting the mark may be served." (Underscoring in
original).
XI. The electronic file for serial number 79,101,128 reflects theresponse to Office
Action as containing the response signature ofCai Mei Yue. (Copy ofResponse to
Office Action attached hereto and incorporated by reference as Exhibit D).
XII. That document appears to be from you or at least your computer in Sugarland,
Texas.
XIII. Accordingly, this investigation has a focus, inter alia, whether ornot you, rather
than the applicant/owner, filed this document on December 7,2011. Itwas only on
that date that you were added for correspondence purposes to the application, which
was purportedly filed by the applicant/owner.
XIV. By the fact that it appears that you filed the Change of Correspondence Address at
the same time as you filed the Responses to Office action, even if you didnot draft
them, you appear to have assisted someone inthe unauthorized practice of law, and
also filed a pleading in violation of the rules cited above, in paragraph F, for signing
electronically, namely: 37C.F.R. 2.193(a)(1), (c)(1), and 11.18(a). (Copy of
"Change of Correspondence Address" from the electronic file for serial number
79,101,128 is attached hereto and incorporated by reference as Exhibi: E).
XV. Another of the "files" attached to your response to the Show Cause Requirement
includeda document dated December 30,2010, that appears to be a "Statement of
Use" executed by "Tseng, Ming-Yi" as "Chairman" of "Yea Jann Industrial Co.,
LTD." (Copy of "Statement of Use" inserial number 77/955,711 attached toyour
response dated January 27, 2012, is attached hereto and incorporated by reference
as Exhibit F).
XVI. The statement of use that was filed electronically in serial number 77/955,711, as
well as the application itself(which bears theelectronic signature of "Chemg
Yang' as Director), appears tohave been also filed from a computer inthe U.S.
Sugarland. Texas. The investigation then, inter alia, will focus onwhether you filed
the statement of use and the application in serial number 77/955,711.

XVII. It therefore appears that the Statement of Use in serial number 77/955,711,
provided by you in response tothe Show Cause requirement, was not filed by the
applicant, but rather by you.
XVIII. By the fact that it appears that you filed both the Application, and Statement of Use
in serial number 77/955,711, even if you did not draft them, you appear to have
assisted someone in the unauthorized practice of law, and also filed a pleading in
violation ofthe rules cited above, in paragraph F, for signing electronically,
namely: 37 C.F.R. 2.193(a)(1), (c)(1), and 11.18(a).
XIX. Another of the "flies" attached to your response to Show Cause dated January
27,2012. was a document caplioned "Authorization of Electronic Signature
Statement of Use" in serial number 77/691,338. (Copy of "Authorization of
Electronic Signature Statement of Use" is attached hereto and incorporated by
reference as Exhibit G).
XX. In accordance with 37 C.F.R. 2.193 and TMEP 611.01(c), the use of Exhibit G is
notpermitted in defiance of those requirements, and to do so may be a violation of
USPTO Disciplinary Rules and statutes.
Please respond to theseven (7) requests initially slated in the RFI dated December 6,2012,
and the four (4) requests below:
1. Did you rely upon that"authorization" (Exhibit C as referred to in paragraphs IX, X,

and Exhibit D as referred to in XI above) to permit you to file the documents
electronically in the name of Cai Mei Yue?
2. Did you rely upon anyotherauthorizations from applicants/owners to signany other

documents electronically for anyone else? If so please explain.
3. Did yourely upon a "Power of Attorney," as referred to in yourparagraph 13 of your

December S, 2012 letter, to undertake any action before the Commissioner for
Trademarks? If so please provide a copy of all powers upon which you relied and
please give an explanation of your understanding of the authority such a document
gives you.
4. Did you electronically sign the names of Cai Mei Yue; Cherng Yang, Director of Yea
Jann Industrial Co., LTD; Tseng, Ming-Yi, the President/Chairman of Yea Jann

5. Did you electronically sign thenames of any other applicants for whom you may

Dear Mr. Shia:
Hus letter is to notify you that, effective inunediately. ^ Uiuted States Patent Md

domestic representative in any trademark matters before the USPTO.

USPTO should not cease use ofyour contact infoimation for correspondence and prohibit
youfrom pardwpatingasacorrespondentordomestic representative inany trademark
matters beforeIheUSPTO.
On February 2.2012, you responded, asserting that you are not engapd in unautho^
mactice Your response includes no claim that you are an authorized attorney, but innead
Mcates that you are merely serving as acorrespondent or domestic representative who
forwards to the USPTO "ready-to-file" papers that have been prepared by the apphwnts
themselves orby filing services in foreign applicants' home counties, ta support ofyour
you have provided copies ofanumber ofprinted Uademarit filmg forms, which
ap^ to h^ve been completedand signed by Ihe relevant applicants.
Facts and Cirewnstaitces Support Exclusion
Generally anon-attorney may not act as arepresentative for others in the prosecutionofa
trademark application, inthe maintenance ofatrademark registtaUon, or maproceedmg
before the USPTO. 37 C.F.R. 11.14; TMEP 602.02.608.01. Subject to ccmin
exceptions not applicable here, only an attorney who is amember mgood standing ofthe

at http://tess2.uspt0.80v/tmdb/tmcp/.
barofthe highest eourtofarelevant U.S. jurisdiction may practice before the USPTO on
^frfoSatrademarkmatters. 37C.F.R.11.1.11.14;TMEP 602. îce
before the USPTO includes consulting with or giving advice to aclient mcontemplatian of
Hlinea application; preparing atrademark application; prosecuting atrademark
aoplfcation by submitting an amendment, response, or other document; signing am^m^ts
responses to Office actions; and authorizing issuance ofexammer samwdmente. 37
^^811 SftyZV TMEP 608.01. Although the USPTO encourages foreign applicants to
appoint adi)mestic'representative for the purpose ofproviding acontact and adtoss for
so^ce ofprocess, the desienationofadomestic representative does not authorize the
Si^SvTdual to pr^cebeforethe USPTO. 37 C.F.R. 2.24(a)(3);TMEP 610.
In the present case, you have generally described the services you provide and indicated
your beliefthat you have not engaged in unauthorized practice. However, the available
information tends to contradict some ofyour assertions and suêsts that some ot your
activities go beyond tiie services you describe providing For instance, you have indicated
that "all papers executed by applicantsare the same copies ofpapers received by PTO
VHthout reviaon." and have provided copies ofcompleted paper trademark filing forms.
However USPTO records show that none ofthese paper forms vras actually filed vntii the
USPTO. Instead, the USPTO's Trademark Electronic Application System (TE.\S) was used
to submit tiierelevant filings.
Moreover embedded information in these TEAS filings indicates that they were dircctiy
electronically and submitted by someone using acomputer on acomputer netwwk
in or around Sugar Land. Texas, where you maintain amailing address. As it is
hi^yunlikely that all ofthese applicante. most ofwhom are foreign, are traveling to your
to complete and sign these electronic filings, it may be presumed that you are
completing, signing, and submitting these filings yourself. In these instances, you did not
merely forward "ready-to-file" papers that were already completed and signed by the
applicants themselves.
One ofthe documents provided in your response further supports the conclusion that you are
inappropriately signing TEAS submissions on behalfofothers. The document, entitled
"Authorization ofElectroiuc Signature Statement ofUse," vras apparentiy signed by an
individual ""mwt Jenny Wu. arepresentative ofthe applicant, and purports to authorize the
"Intemational Patent Office ofBang Shia" to electronically sign her name for the puipose of
filing a ofuse. The relevant application record shows that astatement ofuse vnth
an electronic signature composed ofthe name "Jenny Wu" was filed electronically via
TEAS. As in ti-.e filings referenced above, the embedded infonnation in this filing shows
that itwas directly electronically signed and submitted by a person using a computer on a
computer network in Sugar Land, Texas. As noted, you maintain an address in SugarLand,
but the foreign applicant in this application and Ms. Wu presumably do not. Thus, it appears
that you electronically signed Ms. Wu's name to Uie statement ofuse, which, although
provided for in the referenced document, is nonetheless improper. Under 37 C.F.R.
2.193(c). an electronic signature must be personally entered by the person identified as the
si^toiy; another person may not sign tiie name ofan authorized signatory. &e TMEP

Dear Attorney Ali,
Responsive to the letter dated Mar. 27 for the OED File No. G2081 for scheduling a
teleconference todiscuss the matter ofthe undersigned practitioner bemg a US
representative/coiTespondent to facilitate communication oftrademark papers between foreign
applicants and Trademark Director, the undersigned respectfully requests the OED
A) to consider under 37 CFR11.22 f(iii) information and evidence regarding insufficient
grounds from anon-grieving parties, whose consent has already been obtained by Dr. Shia;
B) to enter into asettlement agreement with Dr. Shia's attorney for arecorded teleconference to
be further scheduled, due to the short notice in Mar. and the lengthy prosecution history
associated withFile G2081 datedfrom Jan., 2012; or
C) to close the iiivestigation without issuing awarning or taking disciplinary action and decline
to refer a matter to the Committee on Discipline, based on the facts and rules presented below.
57 CFR 1L22 (1): The information or evidence is unfounded
Evidence 1): Many applications listed in Exhibit Aattached to the letter from attorney John
Broderick dated 12/5/2012 are not associated with Dr. Shia inany ways, including, but are not
limited to, US serial No. 76257209,76257214,76367838, and 76280138, etc. in the first column
ofsaid Exhibit A, presenting evidence ofa wrongful accusation with an unverified automatic
computer-generated output.

Evidence 2): In violation ofconducting an impartial and unbiased investigation pursuant to 37

CFR 11.22 in accordance with Federal Rules ofEvidence, the OED attorney John Btodenck
unfaithful and biased accusations with circumstantial inferences in the letters dated
12/05/2012 and 01/25/2013, based on inadmissible hearsay collected from adifferent proceeding
under compulsory process in response to the letter fiwm Trademark Director dated 01/23/2012,
contrary to the facts presented below.

DOMESTIC REPRESENTATIVE NONE
As evidenced bytheabove-cited correspondent information, downloaded from the
trademark website associated with the applications listed in Exhibit A attached to the letter from
the Trademark Directoron 01/23/2012, as well as to the letter from the OED dated 12/05/2012,
which show "None" under "Attorney", and "Bang Shia" or "Patent Office of Bang Shia" as
"domestic representative" merely for correspondence purpose. The authorization from foreign
applicants to the business entity, "Patent Office ofBang Shia", is all executed inpen-and-ink by
applicants intheir native countries, as evidenced by the papers submitted under compulsory
process responsive tothe letter ofTrademark Director dated 01/23/2012. The fact that the
business entity "(Patent office of) Bang Shia" bemg a correspondent isfully supported by TMEP
1604.14,15 U.S.C. 1058(f) and 37 C.F.R. 2.161(h):
TMPEP 1604.14 Designation of Domestic Representative by Foreign Owner
Under 15 U.S.C. 1058(f) and 37 C.F.R. 2.161(h), ifthe owner ofthe registration is not domiciled
in the United States, the affidavit or declaration may include the name and address of a United
States resident uponwhom notices or process in proceedings affecting the registration may
be served. The USPTO encourages parties who do not reside in the United States to
designate domestic representatives. Toexpedite processing, the Office recommends that
designations of domestic representative befiled through TEAS, at
http://www.uspto.gov/teas/index.html. See TMEP 604. The person designated as a domestic
representative maybe a natural person or a juristicperson as defined in 15 U.S.C. 1127.

Evidence 4): PTO trademark attorneys explicitly encourage un-represented foreign applicants in
the Office Action (e.g. in Application No. 7910128) to appoint aUS representanve or
correspondent to fecilitate communication. It is thus evident that the OED lacks aclaim under 37
CFR 10.23; 10.47,10.77; 37 CFR 11.18; 15 U.S.C. 1058(f) and 37 C.F.R. 2.161(h).

As evidenced above, all trademark papers are provided on-lineby the Trademark
Director as "ready to fill in" forms inthe USPTO Trademark Electronic Application System

37 CFR JJ-22 (2) The information or evidence relates to matters not within the furisdiction of
the Office
The service in securing the official papers between the Trademark Director and foreign
trademark applicants/owners is provided by abusiness entity and not by Dr. Shia, an individual
ofaregistered patent agent. Witness statements from non-grieving parties under 37 CFR 11.22
f(iii) can be readily provided as evidence.
37 CFR /1.22 (4) The availahle evidence is insufficient to conclude that there is yrobable cause
to believe that ^rounds exist for discipline
Evidence 6) All trademark papers associated with the business entity of"(Patent Office of) Bang
Shia" as "US representative/correspondent" for correspondence purpose in said Exhibit A, were
executed by foreign applicants in their native countries. No service is rendered by Dr. Shia, and
no fees is received by Dr. Shia, as evidenced by any phones, e-mails, faxes, or passport record,
etc. Witness statements from non-grieving parties can also be readily provided as evidence.
Evidence 7) PTO TEAS presents evidence that electronic data entered online by any persons at
any places are readily saved as an e-file, transferable by electronic means (e.g. iphones, iPads, or
laptops) to any other persons at any other places for later filing after asignatory fills in the e-
signature. No service is ever needed from Dr. Shia to manually enter the signatory's name in the
on-line signature panel at the call offoreign applicants not residing in the US.
Meanwhile, the following constitutional and statutory defectiveness isnoted in the

Office, for which ajudicial relief will be sought in an appeal to the decision ofthe OED:

A) USPTO violates the privacy of"(Patent office of) Bang Shia" as aUS representative or
correspondent by publishing her contact information on-line without detailing the legal role
thereof, misleading US consumers to incriminate "Bang Shia" with a defective product
associated with a foreign Mark owner, evidenced by a threatening letter from a US consumer
attached tothe letter to attorney John Broderick responsive to the OED letter dated 12/5/2012;
B) in violation ofconducting an impartial and unbiased investigation pursuant to 37 CFR 11.22,

the OED attorney John Broderick inparagraph J.) and/or U/) ofpage 3 and 4,respectively, ofthe
letter dated 12/05/2012 falsely accused the undersigned byciting "Any practitioner would be
aiding in the unauthorized practice oflaw before the Office whenever he was acting on behalfof
an applicant/owner in any capacity, knowing that the application was drafted, orotherwise
services were rendered, bysomeone not authorized to do so incontravention of 37CFR 11.5",
despite the evidence that inthe PTO website under the paragraph "Who Is Permitted toRespond
To This Provisional Full Refusal" and "Designation of Domestic Representative" in the Office
Action dated 08/31/2011 of serial No. 79101128, PTO trademark attorneys, including but are not
limited to attorney William T. Verhosek, present a showing of "aiding in unauthorized practice
of law by knowing thattheapplication was drafted, or otherwise services were rendered, by
someonenot authorized to do so in contraventionof 37 CFR 11.5".
Inparticular, thecorrespondent ofserial No. 79101128 was not changed from a
Trademark Agency residing inChina to the undersigned until 12/07/2011, as advised by PTO
attorney William T. Verhosek underthe paragraph of "Designation of Domestic Representative"
in the Office Action dated 08/31/2011. It is thus evident that attorney John Broderick is in
violation of conducting an impartial and unbiased investigation pursuant to 37 CFR 11.22
EXHIBIT
for not accusing over 230 PTO trademark attorneys, including William T. Verhosek, ofthe same
alleged misconduct in contravention of37 CFR 11.5 long before the correspondence was
changed to the undersigned, as evidenced by paragraphs J) and U) ofpage 3and 4, respectively,
in File No. G2081 dated Dec. 5.2012. It thenpresents a showing that Attorney John C.
Broderick violates Rule 3.4 "Fairness to Opposing Party and Counsel", Rule 3.5
"Impartiality and Decorum ofthe Tribunal" and Rule 4.1 "Truthfulness in Statements to
Others", as specified under "Maryland Lawyer's Rules ofProfessional Conduct".
C) inviolation of conducting an unpartial and unbiased investigation pursuant to 37 CFR
11.22, attorney Emil J. Ali made a phone call at 11:56 AM on Mar. 5,2013, compelling
unconstitutionally for Dr. Shia's response in two days to avoid a bad decision, the language was
made ina clause of "If... not..., a bad decision will bemade.", and thetone was characterized
as angry and intimidating, the recoding ofwhich can be certified by the phone company. It is
noted that "A lawyer should use the law's procedures only for legitimate purpose and not to
harass or intimidate others".
Lacking any non-complying evidence, the undersigned practitioner hereby requests the
OED todismiss the wrongful accusation in File No. G2081 in accordance with 37 CFR 11.22, or
to enter a settlement stated below:
"In exchangefor a clearnamefrom birth, andhopefully, tilldeath. Dr. Shia wouldgive up the
right ofa US representative or correspondent under 15 U.S.C. 1058(f) and 37 C.F.R. 2.161(h)

information on-line withoutneither detailing the legalrole thereofnor obtainingher consent,
resulting in a threatening complaintfora defectiveproductfrom a consumer,followed by a
seriesofbiasedand discriminating investigation in the Trademark Directorand the OED,
excruciating her career and lifefor morethanfourteen months," (Thesewordsought to be
printed in bloodyred.)
It is not plausible for a registered agent witha Ph.D. and two masterdegrees to
audaciously challenge, before the USPTO, the lawof a USrepresentative/correspondent under
15 U.S.C. 1058(f) and 37 C.F.R. 2.161(h) by associating her contactwith on-linetrademarks,
unless shehadalways naively believed that justice existed for the innocent without seeking a
judicial relief.
Should there be any further questions, the OED shall discuss procedures forajudicial
reliefwith the undersigned's attorney, whose contact will be provided upon request, due toa

Summary of Issues
Identification of goods
Nameofmdividual
Identification of Goods
The wording "clothing" and "western style clothes*' mthe identification ofgoods isindefinite and must
be clarified because it does not specify thetypes of "clothing" and"western style clothes" for which the
mark isused. See TMEP 1402.01,1402.03. Applicant must amend theidentification byinserting the
word "namely," after "clothing" and "westem style clothes" and indicating the specific types ofclothing
items (e.g., shirts, pants, coats, dresses). 5eeTMEP 1402.01,1402.03(a).
Inan application filed under Trademark Act Section 66(a), an applicant may not change the classification
ofgoods and/or ser/ices firom that assigned by the International Bureau inthe corresponding intemational
registration. 37 C.F.R. 2.85(d); TMEP 1401.03(d), 1904.02(b). Therefore, although clothing can be
classified in intemational classes other than Intemational Class 25 (e.g., Intemational Classes 9,10, and
18), any modification tothe identification must identify goods inIntemational Class 25 only, the class
specified inthe application forsuch goods.

appears tobeinresponse to OED*s March 18,2014 Request for Information and Evidence
Under 37 CFR 11.22(f) ("RFI").*
Your April 17^ letter raises an issue regardmg OED date stamps. Please note that the different
date stamps addressed in your April 17 letter are ofiQcial OED date stamps. ^
Also, your April 17^ letter lacks anumber ofrequested responses and istherefore considered
incomplete. A copy of OED'sMarch 18,2014 RFl isattached hereto so that you can further
review the specific requests.for information and provide your comments.^ For example, you did
no:respond to a majority ofthealleged information inparagraph numbers 1through 38 inthe

providing any requested and/or supporting documentation. You arereminded ofyour duty to

typographical error as April 18*^ is subsequent to your April 17^ letter.
^Please note thatdue to the size oftheattachments included with OED*s March 18*^ RFI, OED
isenclosing herewith the March 18^ RFI without the attached materials. Ifyou did not receive

TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN
Dear Sir / Madam.
This Is to certify that thefour Chinese words 4* $appearing above are as follows:-
Chinese Characters Hanvu PInvIn
^^ zhGnghuA R. The Chinese nation

yT pron. one; same adj. whole
b&o n.. abalone
According totheabovemenfioned, oneofthesingle words"*-" has a few meanings butits

actual meaninghas to depend on anotherword orwords itJoins wQh. Forexamples:- ^
1. 2h6nghu&) means "the Chinese nation
2. (>I) means "ône; same " or ** whole*' and etc.
(i) ) means " one person ";
00 means thewhole life";
(iiO means '*only";
(iv) 55(diyr) means "the&st".
3. (b&o) Isanabbrevfattonofi^jll(btoyA) which stmp^means''abalone".
Having the further explanation, we wouid like to malce a conclusion. As the combination ofthe
four Chinese words (zhOnghud yT bdo) is not a standard phrase or short sentence in
Chinese Language, so It has no meaning at all.
Yours faithfully.
