The assigned examining attorney has reviewed the referenced application and determined the following.
Search Results
A search of the mark is deferred pending a new drawing and description of the mark.
Drawing
The drawing is not acceptable because it will not reproduce satisfactorily. The applicant must submit a new drawing showing the mark clearly and conforming to 37 C.F.R. §2.52. TMEP §807.07(a). The details are illegible in this drawing since it appears to be black on black.
The requirements for a special-form drawing are as follows:
· The drawing must appear in black and white if color is not claimed as a feature of the mark, or in color if color is claimed as a feature of the mark.
· Drawings must be typed or made with a pen or by a process that will provide high definition when copied. A photolithographic, printer’s proof copy, or other high quality reproduction of the mark may be used. All lines must be clean, sharp and solid, and must not be fine or crowded.
· The image must be no larger than 3.15 inches (8 cm) high by 3.15 inches (8cm) wide.
· If reduction of the mark to the required size renders any details illegible, then applicant may insert a statement in the application to describe the mark and these details.
37 C.F.R. §§2.52(b); See TMEP §§807.01(b) and 807.07(a).
If submitted on paper, the Office prefers that the drawing be depicted on a separate sheet of non-shiny, white paper that is 8 to 8.5 inches wide and 11 to 11.69 inches long (20.3 to 21.6 cm. wide and 27.9 to 29.7 cm. long). One of the shorter sides of the sheet should be regarded as its top edge. In addition, the drawing should include the caption “DRAWING PAGE” at the top of the drawing beginning one-inch (2.5 cm) from the top edge. 37 C.F.R. §2.54.
The Office strictly enforces these drawing requirements.
Description Needed
Applicant must submit a concise description of the mark. 37 C.F.R. §2.37; TMEP §§808 et seq. The following is suggested:
The mark consists of [specify the stylized letters].
