Provisional approval of the Statement of Use filed on May 16, 2007, is hereby withdrawn for the reason(s) set forth below. Since the time period for filing a statement of use has now expired, the above-identified APPLICATION IS ABANDONED. 15 U.S.C. §1051(d); 37 C.F.R. §2.88.
STATEMENT OF USE IS DEFICIENT AS FOLLOWS:
STATEMENT OF USE NOT PROPERLY VERIFIED: The statement that “the mark is in use in commerce” was not properly verified. This statement, verified by affidavit or declaration under 37 C.F.R. §2.20, and signed by applicant or a person authorized to sign on behalf of applicant, is one of the minimum filing requirements. 15 U.S.C. §1051(d); 37 C.F.R. §§2.88(b)(1) and (e)(3); TMEP §§804.04, 1109.09 and 1109.11 et seq.
SAMPLE VERIFIED STATEMENT THAT THE “MARK IS IN USE IN COMMERCE”: The following statement and declaration under 37 C.F.R. §2.20 can be used to satisfy the requirement for a verified statement that “the mark is in use in commerce,” if signed and dated by applicant or a person authorized to sign on behalf of applicant:
The trademark/service mark is in use in commerce; the undersigned being warned that willful false statements and the like are punishable by fine or imprisonment, or both, under 18 U.S.C. §1001, and that such willful false statements and the like may jeopardize the validity of this document, declares that s/he is properly authorized to execute this document on behalf of the applicant; and all statements made of his/her own knowledge are true and all statements made on information and belief are believed to be true.
