This Office Action responds to the applicant’s Response, filed on February 20, 2002 in the Trademark Office. Applicant amended the recitation of services. The amendment is acceptable and is entered. However, the specimen requirement for Class 41 is maintained and made FINAL.

The applicant must submit a specimen showing use of the mark for the goods/services specified. 37 C.F.R. §2.56; TMEP §904. The applicant must verify, with an affidavit or a declaration under 37 C.F.R. §2.20, that the substitute specimen was in use in commerce at least as early as the filing date of the application. 37 C.F.R. §2.59(a); TMEP §904.09.
Please note that the only appropriate responses to a final action are (1) compliance with the outstanding requirements, if feasible, (2) filing of an appeal to the Trademark Trial and Appeal Board, or (3) filing of a petition to the Director if permitted by 37 C.F.R. §2.63(b). 37 C.F.R. §2.64(a); TMEP §715.01.
