This letter responds to applicant’s communication filed on July 14, 2006. Please be advised that the amended identification is acceptable and has been entered into the record. However, the translation requirement is believed proper and is now made FINAL
The applicant was previously advised that it must submit an English translation of all foreign wording in the mark. 37 C.F.R. §2.61(b); TMEP §809. It was noted that in this, the wording “TAKO” needs translating. The following translation statement was suggested: “The English translation of the word TAKO in the mark is SO, OCTOPUS, and/or BASE.” The applicant has responded to the prior Office Action. However, the applicant failed to address the outstanding informality. As such, the requirement has not been satisfied and is now made FINAL.
If applicant fails to respond to this final action within six months of the mailing date, the application will be abandoned. 15 U.S.C. §1062(b); 37 C.F.R. §2.65(a). Applicant may respond to this final action by:
