This letter responds to applicant’s communication filed on November 3, 2004.
The refusal to register is withdrawn for Classes 9, 41 and 42.
The refusal to register is maintained with regard to Class 28. If the wording “toys, namely rag dolls and plush toys” were deleted, the refusal could be withdrawn for Class 28 also.
The possible refusal to register based on prior pending application SN 78-266124 is withdrawn.
The requirement to submit additional information is withdrawn.
The requirement to submit an acceptable drawing as set forth in the first office action is maintained. The amended drawing is blurry and some of the letters appear to be completely black.
Dual Basis
It is noted that applicant wishes to retain both statutory bases.
The application will be suspended after an acceptable drawing is submitted.
Effective January 31, 2005 and pursuant to the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2005, Pub. L. 108-447, the following are the fees that will be charged for filing a trademark application:
(1) $325 per international class if filed electronically using the Trademark Electronic Application System (TEAS); or
(2) $375 per international class if filed on paper
These fees will be charged not only when a new application is filed, but also when payments are made to add classes to an existing application. If such payments are submitted with a TEAS response, the fee will be $325 per class, and if such payments are made with a paper response, the fee will be $375 per class.
The new fee requirements will apply to any fees filed on or after January 31, 2005.
