The assigned trademark examining attorney has reviewed the referenced application and has determined the following:
Search Results
The Office records have been searched and no similar registered or pending mark has been found that would bar registration under Trademark Act Section 2(d), 15 U.S.C. §1052(d). TMEP §704.02.
Applicant’s entity type is specified inconsistently in the application, and clarification is required. The name of an individual person and a corporation appears in the “Applicant’s Name” section of the application, but the entity type is set forth as an individual. TMEP §803.03.
If applicant is an individual and the owner of the mark, then applicant may simply request that the entity be kept as “individual” and indicate his/her country of citizenship for the record. Applicant must clarify the Applicant’s name section. 15 U.S.C. §1051(a)(2); 37 C.F.R. §2.32(a)(3)(i); TMEP §§803.02(a) and 1201.02(c). Alternatively, if applicant is in fact a corporation, the correct name of the corporation (and U.S. state or foreign country of incorporation or organization) should be set forth. TMEP §§803.02(c) and 803.03(c).
If, in response to the above request, applicant provides information indicating that it is not the owner of the mark, then the trademark examining attorney will refuse registration under Trademark Act Section 1, 15 U.S.C. §1051, because the application was void as filed. Only the owner of a mark may apply to register the mark. TMEP §§803.01, 803.06, and 1201.02(b).
Standard Character Claim
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).
