The assigned trademark examining attorney has reviewed the statement of use and has determined the following:

 

In the statement of use, applicant has described the goods more narrowly than those described in the notice of allowance and it is not clear whether applicant intended to restrict the identification.  Applicant must either confirm that the identification of goods indicated in the statement of use is proper or submit an amended identification of goods.  TMEP §§1109.11(b) and 1109.13.

 

If applicant amends the statement of use to add the omitted goods, then applicant must also include a statement that “the applicant used the mark on or in connection with the additional goods and/or services in commerce before expiration of the time period for filing a statement of use,” properly verified with a notarized affidavit or a signed declaration in accordance with 37 C F R §2 20.  37 C.F.R. §2.88(i)(2); TMEP §1109. 13.

 

The goods specified in the amended identification may not exceed the scope of those set forth in the notice of allowance.  Also, if the application has been expressly amended to delete from the identification, any goods set forth in the notice of allowance, those items may not be re-inserted in the identification.  See 37 C.F.R. §2.71(a).

 

PLEASE NOTE:  All of the issues raised can be resolved by telephone.  The applicant may telephone the examining attorney, instead of submitting a written response, to expedite the application.
