This letter responds to the applicant’s communication filed on February 16, 2006. With its response, the applicant has provided an acceptable amended identification of the goods. The applicant has also provided color claim and color location statements as suggested. However, upon further consideration, the examining attorney has determined the following:
The ® symbol is not part of the mark, and the applicant should delete this from the drawing. TMEP §§807.04 and 807.15.
Additionally, the drawing appears to include a light pink background rather than a white background. If the light pink background color is intended to be part of the mark, the applicant must submit amended color claim and color location statements that include the color light pink and describe its location in the mark. If the color light pink is not intended to be part of the mark, the applicant should amend the drawing to display the mark on a white background.
If the applicant submits an amended drawing showing the mark without the ® symbol and on a white background, the color claim and color location statements provided with the applicant’s response will be acceptable.
The requirements for a special-form drawing are as follows:
37 C.F.R. §§2.52(b); TMEP §§807.04 et seq. The Office strictly enforces these drawing requirements.
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; TMEP §§807.06 et seq.
To submit a special form drawing electronically, applicant must attach a digitized image of the mark to the submission. The digitized image must be in .jpg format, formatted at no less than 300 dots per inch and no more than 350 dots per inch. The Office recommends that the digitized image of the mark have a length and width of no smaller than 250 pixels and no larger than 944 pixels. 37 C.F.R. §2.53(c); TMEP §807.05(c). All lines in the image must be clean, sharp and solid, and not fine or crowded, and produce a high quality image when copied.
If the applicant has any questions or needs assistance in responding to this Office action, please telephone the assigned examining attorney.
