OFFICE ACTION

The USPTO must receive the owner’s response to this letter within the time period specified below. Respond using the Trademark Electronic Application System (TEAS). A link to the appropriate TEAS response form appears below.

Issue date: April 28, 2021

The Section 7(h) Request for Correction submitted on April 06, 2021 is not accepted for the reasons set forth below.

I. Ownership Issues: Corrected Assignment

The party who filed the Section 7 Request for Correction has requested that the owner name in the registration be changed to reflect a different owner name. This party states that ownership has been properly transferred to the new owner. However, because of what appears to be an error in the ownership documents as filed with the Assignment Recordation Branch, chain of title to the new owner is unclear.

Errors in assignment records are corrected by recording a correcting document with the Assignment Recordation Branch of the USPTO. TMEP §§503.06 et seq. To expedite recordation, the owner is encouraged to file requests for recordation through the Electronic Trademark Assignment System (ETAS) at http://etas.uspto.gov. There is a fee for recording ownership documents.

You must notify the undersigned paralegal when the corrected document has been submitted for recordation. The filing of a document with the Assignment Recordation Branch does not extend the time period for responding to this Office action.

II. Response Period

The owner has six months from the issuance date of this letter to respond to all the issues raised in this letter. In order to expedite the processing of your Section 7 Request for Correction, the early submission of a response to this letter is encouraged. If a complete response is not received in the Office within this time period, then the Section 7 Request for Correction will be considered abandoned. 37 C.F.R. §2.176.

USPTO OFFICIAL NOTICE

Office action (Official Letter) issued
on 04/28/2021 for
U.S. Trademark Registration No. 2397501

Your trademark document has been reviewed. The assigned staff member has issued an official letter, and you may be required to respond to avoid cancellation of your registration or final rejection of your filing.

What to do next
1. Read the official letter.

Carefully review the letter to determine:

Whether a response is required, and if so, the response deadline.

How to submit your response using the Trademark Electronic Application System (TEAS).

2. Respond if required.

If you're required to respond, we must receive your response before midnight Eastern Time of the last day of the response period.

If you have questions

Direct questions about the letter to the staff member identified in the letter.

Direct questions about navigating USPTO electronic forms, the USPTO website , the registration maintenance process, the status of your registration, or whether there are outstanding deadlines or documents related to your file to the Trademark Assistance Center (TAC).

Your ongoing responsibilities

Check the status of your registration periodically in the Trademark Status & Document Retrieval (TSDR) database to avoid missing critical deadlines.

Update your correspondence email address , if needed, to ensure you receive important USPTO notices about your registration.

Beware of misleading notices sent by private companies about your registration. Private companies not associated with the USPTO often use public information from trademark registrations to mail and email trademark-related offers and notices - most of which require fees. These companies often have names similar to the USPTO. All official USPTO correspondence is emailed from the domain "@uspto.gov." For a current list of companies the USPTO has received complaints about, information on how to identify these offers and notices, and what to do if you receive one, see the misleading notices webpage.
