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: March 4, 2020
The Section 7 Amendment submitted on 02/22/2019 is not accepted for the reasons set forth below.
Therefore, the owner must submit a complete color claim and color location statements that reference all the colors appearing in the drawing of the amended mark.
If black, white and/or gray appear in the mark, they must be included in the color claim and color location statement. If they are not being used as color, they should be omitted from the color claim and the owner must amend the color location statement to specify where the black, white and/or gray appear in the mark. The owner must also state that they constitute background, outlining, shading or transparent areas, and are not a part of the mark.
To verify the contents of the Section 7 Amendment, as well as any submitted corrections or further amendments, the owner may submit the following statement and declaration under 37 C.F.R. §2.20, properly signed and dated:
The undersigned, being hereby warned that willful false statements and the like so made are punishable by fine or imprisonment, or both, under 18 U.S.C. §1001, and that such willful false statement may jeopardize the validity of this document, declares that s/he is properly authorized to execute this document on behalf of the owner, and all statements made of his/her own knowledge are true and that all statements made on information and belief are believed to be true.
