In addition to all of the substantive issues and informalities raised in the Office Action dated November 24, 2003, which are incorporated by reference herein, applicant must also correct the following issue. Please note that applicant must respond to all issues raised in this Office Action, as well as the previous Office Action of November 24, 2003, within six (6) months of the mailing date of this letter. If applicant does not respond within this time limit, the application will be abandoned.
In addition to the print coming through the drawing page as stated in Office Action Number One, the applicant should also be advised that on the drawing page the top of the car is cut off. Furthermore, the applicant must also adhere to the following special-form drawing requirements:
(1) The drawing must appear in black and white; no color is permitted.
(2) Every line and letter must be black and clear.
(3) The use of gray to indicate shading is unacceptable.
(4) The lining must not be too fine or too close together.
(5) The preferred size of the area in which the mark is displayed is 2½ inches (6.1 cm.) high and 2½ inches (6.1 cm.) wide. It should not be larger than 4 inches (10.3 cm.) high or 4 inches (10.3 cm.) wide.
(6) If the reduction of the mark to the required size renders any details illegible, the applicant may insert a statement in the application to describe the mark and these details.
37 C.F.R. §2.52; TMEP §§807.01(b) and 807.07(a). The Office will enforce these drawing requirements strictly.
The Office prefers that the drawing be depicted on a separate sheet of smooth, nonshiny, white paper 8 to 8½ inches (20.3 to 21.6 cm.) wide and 11 inches (27.9 cm.) long, and that the sheet contain a heading listing, on separate lines, the applicant’s complete name; the applicant’s address; the goods or services recited in the application; and, if the application is filed under Section 1(a) of the Act, the dates of first use of the mark and of first use of the mark in commerce; or, if the application is filed under Section 44(d), the priority filing date of the foreign application. 37 C.F.R. §2.52(b); TMEP §§807.01(a), 807.01(b), 807.01(c) and 807.07(a).
If the applicant would like to include a description of the mark any reference to a registered trademark should be removed. The applicant may adopt the following description if applicable:
The mark consists of a car with a red body traversing an S-shaped road with the words “The Road of Life” beneath it.
