ISSUE/MAILING DATE: 2/26/2016
U.S. Registration Number 3025203
Your response to the outstanding Office action regarding the Combined Section 8 Affidavit & Section 9 Renewal Application was timely received on February 24, 2016. After consideration of the response and the facts of record, the refusal to accept the Combined Section 8 Affidavit & Section 9 Renewal Application is maintained for the reason(s) set forth below.
The Combined Section 8 Affidavit & Section 9 Renewal Application cannot be accepted because the specimen for International Class 9 still does not show trademark usage and the following statement was not provided. Please submit the following statement: “The substitute specimen was in use in commerce during the relevant period for filing the 10-year Section 8.”
Sincerely,
/Vicky Copeland/
