Serial Number 76/614149
The assigned examining attorney has reviewed the referenced application and determined the following.
The applicant must specify the serial number of the foreign application upon which the priority claim is based. TMEP 806.01(c).
Application Pursuant to Section 1(b) and 44(d)
If applicant wishes to proceed relying on the applicant’s intent to use the mark in commerce under Trademark Act Section 1(b) as the sole basis for registration, with the claim of priority under Section 44(d), then applicant should so advise the trademark examining attorney. TMEP §§806.02(f) and 806.04(b). If applicant chooses to do so, this Office will approve the mark for publication without waiting for applicant to submit a copy of the foreign registration, once all other outstanding issues are resolved. However, while the application may be approved for publication, the mark will not register until after an acceptable allegation of use has been filed.
If applicant does not indicate otherwise, this Office will presume that applicant wishes to rely on the foreign registration as an additional basis for registration and will require applicant to submit the copy of the foreign registration and, if appropriate, an English translation signed by the translator. TMEP §§1004.01 and 1004.01(b).
Applicant must submit the following standard character claim: “The mark consists of standard characters without claim to any particular font style, size, or color.” 37 C.F.R. §2.52(a); TMEP §807.03(a).
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.
