This letter responds to the applicant’s communication filed on March 3, 2003.
The Office has reassigned this application to the undersigned examining attorney.
The specimen is unacceptable as evidence of actual service mark use because it does not show the mark for which registration is sought but the wording “Contacto Deportiveo” alone. TMEP §904.05. The applicant must submit a specimen showing the mark as it is used in commerce. 37 C.F.R. §§2.56 and 2.88(b)(2). Examples of acceptable specimens are signs, photographs, brochures or advertisements that show the mark used in the sale or advertising of the services. TMEP §1301.04. The applicant must verify, with an affidavit or a declaration under 37 C.F.R. §2.20, that the substitute specimen was in use in commerce prior to the expiration of the time allowed to the applicant for filing a statement of use. 37 C.F.R. §2.59(b); TMEP §904.09.
If an amendment of the dates‑of‑use clause is necessary in order to state the correct dates of first use, the applicant must verify the amendment with an affidavit or a declaration in accordance with 37 C.F.R. §2.20. 37 C.F.R. §2.71(c); TMEP §903.05.
