Request for Express Abandonment (Withdrawal) of Application

TEAS - Version 7.6

Please enter the serial number of the application for which you wish to request express abandonment. Then, click on the Continue button, below. NOTE: Only one application can be abandoned at a time; i.e., do

not enter multiple serial numbers, but instead submit separate requests. NOTE: Once you file an express abandonment, it cannot be withdrawn except in an extraordinary situation upon petition to the Director.

Also, filing of an Express Abandonment (Withdrawal) does NOT result in any refund of the original application fee. The fee is an initial processing fee, which is not refunded later, regardless of any expressed

intent to cease prosecution of the application.

WARNING: Only the applicant or its attorney may request express abandonment (withdrawal) of its own existing application.
