USPTO Official Notice

Office action (Official Letter) has issued
on 02/06/2020 for
U.S. Trademark Registration No. 2614240

Your trademark document has been reviewed by a Post Registration staff member. As part of that review, the assigned staff member has issued you an official letter that you must respond to by the specified deadline. Please follow the steps below.

(1) Read the official letter or notice.

(2) Direct questions about the contents of the official 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, and/or whether there are outstanding deadlines or documents related to your file to the Trademark Assistance Center (TAC).

(3) Response may be required. Carefully review the Office action to determine (1) if a response is required, (2) the applicable response time period, and (3) how to respond using the Trademark Electronic Application System (TEAS). The response must be received by the USPTO before midnight Eastern Time of the last day of the response period.

GENERAL GUIDANCE

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 provided in USPTO 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 will only be 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.
