Pursuant to the authority granted to the trademark examining attorney by TMEP §707.02, this amendment to add the standard character claim is entered without first contacting the applicant.
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.
The mark is presented in standard character format without claim to any particular font style, size, or color.
Effective November 2, 2003, Trademark Rule 2.52, 37 C.F.R. § 2.52, was amended to replace “typed” drawings with “standard character” drawings. In a standard character drawing, the mark on the drawing consists of only words, letters or numbers, but does not include any designs or claims as to particular font style, size, or color. A registration for a mark using a standard character drawing affords protection not only for the standard character version of the mark, but for any possible renderings of the mark, as long as those renderings do not contain any design elements; i.e., a registered standard character drawing of the mark gives protection for display on the specimens in any lettering style. 37 C.F.R. §2.52; Exam Guide 01-03, section I; See TMEP §§807.06 et seq. and TMEP §807.07 et seq. Applicants seeking to register a mark without any claim as to the manner of display must submit the standard character claim as set forth above.
For more information about current drawing requirements, see 37 C.F.R. §§2.52, 2.53 and 2.54 (www.gov.uspto.report/web/offices/tac/tmlaw2.html), and Exam Guide 01-03 (www.gov.uspto.report/web/offices/tac/notices/examguide1-03.htm).
