OFFICE RECORDS SEARCH: The examining attorney has searched the Office records and has found no similar registered or pending mark that would bar registration under Trademark Act Section 2(d), 15 U.S.C. §1052(d). TMEP §704.02.
ADVISORY – AMENDMENTS TO GOODS/SERVICES: If the goods and/or services have been amended below, any future amendments must be in accordance with 37 C.F.R. §2.71(a) and TMEP §1402.07(e).
In accordance with the policy and procedures announced in TMEP section 707.02, the Office has entered the amendment noted below in the referenced application.
The following statement has been added to the application: The mark is presented in standard character format without claim to any particular font style, size, or color.
The Trademark Rules pertaining to drawings were amended on November 2, 2003. The standard character designation replaces the term “typed drawing” formerly used by the Trademark Office. 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 also for any possible renderings of the mark, as long as those renderings do not contain any design elements. A registered standard character drawing of the mark provides protection for display on the specimens in any lettering style.
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.
