This Office has declared the application abandoned for failure to file a complete response to the Office action. 15 U.S.C. §1062(b); 37 C.F.R. §2.65(a). See TMEP §§718.03 and 718.03(a). Applicant’s letter filed on November 12, 2004 is an incomplete response to the Office action dated May 10, 2004, because it failed to respond to the requirements regarding the identification of goods and the disclaimer issues. Applicant’s proposed amendment to the goods would have been an impermissible amendment beyond the scope of the application. For this reason, the applicant’s goods as defined in the identification remained not “goods in trade” regarding which a registration could issue.
PLEASE NOTE: When a trademark examining attorney holds an application abandoned for failure to file a complete response, applicant may not file a petition to revive under 37 C.F.R. §2.66, based on unintentional delay. TMEP §§715.03(a) and 1714.01(f)(ii). However, applicant may file a petition to the Director under 37 C.F.R. §2.146 to request a reversal of the holding of abandonment. The Director will reverse the holding only if there is clear error or abuse of discretion. TMEP §1713.
