The following issues were discussed in communication with Valerie du Laney on July 16, 2003.
If the name shown in the mark identifies a particular living individual, the applicant must submit a written consent from that individual, authorizing the applicant to register the name. If the name does not identify a living individual, the applicant should state so for the record. Trademark Act Section 2(c), 15 U.S.C. §1052(c); TMEP §§813 and 1206 et seq.
The drawing of the mark contains color. A drawing must be in black and white. Therefore, the applicant must submit a new drawing showing the mark clearly and conforming to 37 C.F.R. §2.52. If the applicant wishes to depict color in the drawing, then the applicant must provide a clear and specific description of what the color is and where the color appears in the mark. 37 C.F.R. §2.52(a)(2)(v); TMEP §807.09(c).
If the applicant includes a description of the color and where it appears in the mark, the Office will presume that the applicant is claiming color as a feature of the mark. If the applicant does not consider color to be a feature of the mark, the applicant should not submit a description of the color and where it appears in the mark.
