Offc Action Outgoing

The Section 8 Affidavit of record lists goods and/or services that are different from the goods and/or services identified in the registration. Specifically, the Section 8 Affidavit identifies the goods and/or services as “land vehicle panels comprising dash controls,” and the registration identifies the goods and/or services as “land vehicle instrument panels comprising dash controls.” The identification of goods and/or services set forth in the Section 8 Affidavit cannot be different from or broader in scope than those listed in the registration.

If the Section 8 Affidavit is intended to cover fewer than all the goods and/or services in the registration, then the owner must specify the goods and/or services being deleted. 37 C.F.R. §2.161(e)(2). Goods and/or services omitted from a Section 8 Affidavit will be deleted from the registration.

The following statement and declaration under 37 C.F.R. §2.20 can be used to verify the Section 8 Affidavit, if properly signed and dated:

The owner was using the mark in commerce on or in connection with the goods and/or services identified in the registration for which use of the mark in commerce is claimed, as evidenced by the submitted specimen, during the relevant period for filing the 6-year Section 8, that is, between the 5^th and 6^th year anniversary after the date of registration or the date of publication under 15 U.S.C. §1062.

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.
