Serial Number  76/568559

 

The recitation of goods is indefinite because the uses of the goods have not been indicated.  Applicant must amend the recitation of goods by indicating the uses of the goods, e.g., the diseases for which the goods are used.

 

Applicant must submit the following standard character claim:  “The mark is presented in standard characters without claim to any particular font style, size, or color.”  37 C.F.R. §2.52(a).

 

An application under Trademark Act Section 44(e), 15 U.S.C. §1126(e), must include a copy of a foreign registration from the applicant’s country of origin.  The applicant’s country of origin must either be a party to a convention or treaty relating to trademarks to which the United States is also a party, or must extend reciprocal registration rights to nationals of the United States by law.  See TMEP §§1002.01 and 1004.

 

The application does not contain a copy of the foreign registration.  Therefore, the applicant must submit a true copy, a photocopy, a certification, or a certified copy of the foreign registration.  If the foreign certificate of registration is not written in English, the applicant must provide an English translation.  The translator should sign the translation.  See TMEP §§1004.01 and 1004.01(b).

 

The applicant must indicate its country of incorporation and indicate whether an Aktieselskab is the name for a corporation.  37 C.F.R. §2.32(a)(3)(ii); TMEP §§803.03(c) and 803.04.

 

The applicant must indicate whether “imvarex” has any significance in the relevant trade, any geographical significance, or any meaning in a foreign language.  37 C.F.R. §2.61(b).

 

The examining attorney has searched the Office records and has found no similar registered or pending mark which would bar registration under Trademark Act Section 2(d), 15 U.S.C. §1052(d).  TMEP §704.02.
