registered on the Principal Register under
15 U.S.C.
§1051(d)
, and marks registered on the Supplemental Register on the
date of the particular issue in which the marks appear.  Effective July 15, 2003, the USPTO

such general information as notices of changes in rules or USPTO procedures for both
patents and trademarks; notices to parties who cannot be reached by mail; and indices of
trademark registrations issued, renewed, cancelled, amended, or corrected on the date of
the particular issue in which the marks appear.
