Applicant must indicate the status of the relevant foreign application(s). Action on this
application was suspended pending receipt of a true copy, a photocopy, a certification, or a
certified copy of the certificate of registration(s) in the country of origin of applicant. 15 U.S.C.
§1126(e); TMEP §§716.02(b) and 1004 et seq.
If applicant also has a Section 1 basis for registration, please note that applicant has the option to delete the Section 44(e) basis and proceed solely under the Section 1 basis. 15 U.S.C. §1051. If applicant chooses to delete the Section 44(e) basis, this Office will then approve the mark for publication without waiting for applicant to submit a copy of the foreign registration, after all other outstanding issues are resolved. TMEP §§806.02(f) and 806.04(b).
Please note that the examining attorney maintains and continues the requirement(s) and/or refusal(s) stated in the previous Office action(s), if any.
Status Check
To check status information, please use either http://tarr.uspto.gov, or call 703-305-8747 (Monday-Friday, 6:30 a.m. to 12 midnight, EST). If additional information regarding the status of an application or registration is required, callers may telephone the Trademark Assistance Center (TAC) at (571) 272-9250 or (800) 786-9199 and request a status check. TAC is open from 8:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Eastern Standard Time, Monday through Friday, except on holidays.
Copies of Documents
The applicant may view and download any or all documents contained in the electronic file wrapper of all pending trademark applications, as well as many registrations via the Trademark Document Retrieval (TDR) system available online at: http://portal.gov.uspto.report/external/portal/tow. Currently, you can access all pending applications and all Madrid Protocol filings, and also many registrations, via TDR. The USPTO is in the process of converting all remaining registrations into a digital format, to permit future TDR access. This conversion process is expected to take several years.
New Money Saving Program
On July 18, 2005, the USPTO introduced a new version of the application for a Trademark/Service mark, Principal Register. The TEAS Plus form has a lower filing fee of $275 per class of goods and/or services (the TEAS form fee is $325 per class of goods and/or services), but has stricter requirements than the TEAS form.
