When/How to File. 1  File the letter of protest as soon as possible after the subject application is filed and preferably before publication. Pre-publication letters of protest are accepted if the evidence is relevant and supports a reasonable ground for refusal. After publication, a letter of protest is only accepted if the evidence supports a clear error on the part of the USPTO in approving the mark for publication.
Children in College. The IRS extends the age limit for qualifying children for those in college. If your son is 23 and a full-time college student at the end of the calendar year, you can claim him on your income tax if he meets the other requirements for a qualified child. Temporary absences due to education and vacation don't count as time living away from you.
Age. The IRS allows you to claim an exemption for your child who is under 19 years of age. You might be able to continue claiming an exemption for your college-age child from age 19 through 23 years old, provided she meets the IRS' other tests as a qualifying child.f you've claimed an exemption for your child for the past 18 years, but this year she turned 19 and you're wondering if you can still hang on to that tax break, the answer is: maybe.
