The Request for Extension of Time to File a Statement of Use, received on July 22, 2003, is denied for the following reason(s):
The Request for Extension of Time to File a Statement of Use submitted was filed too early. The Office will not grant two extension requests that are filed within the same six-month period. The applicant's second, extension request was filed on May 1, 2003 and the third, request was filed on July 22, 2003, within the same six-month extension period. 37 C.F.R §2.89(a).
In order to avoid abandonment of the application, the applicant must re-file the Request for Extension of Time to File a Statement of Use, or file a Statement of Use, before the expiration of the third extension period.
The fee for filing the extension request will be refunded.
