The assigned examining attorney has reviewed the referenced Statement of Use and determined the following.
Mark on Drawing Does Not Match Mark on the Specimens :
The mark as depicted on the drawing disagrees with the mark as it appears on the specimen, and clarification is required. Specifically, the drawing displays the mark as ‘ZIG ZAG’ (no hyphen), and the specimen shows the mark as ‘’ZIG-ZAG’ (with hyphen).
Applicant must either:
(1) submit a new drawing of the mark that agrees with the specimen but does not materially alter the mark; 37 C.F.R. §2.72(b); TMEP §§807.14, 807.14(a) and 807.14(a)(i); or
(2) submit a substitute specimen that shows use of the mark shown in the drawing and includes a statement that “the substitute specimen was in use in commerce prior to the expiration of the time allowed to applicant for filing a statement of use,” verified with a notarized affidavit or a signed declaration under 37 C.F.R. §2.20. 37 C.F.R. §§2.59(b) and 2.72(b); TMEP §904.09.
Applicant may not withdraw the statement of use. 37 C.F.R. §2.88(g).
