I. OFFICE RECORDS
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. Section 1052(d). TMEP section 1105.01.
The applicant must submit a new drawing showing the entire mark clearly and conforming to 37 C.F.R. §§2.52, 2.53(c) and 2.54(e). The current drawing is not acceptable because it contains excessive amounts of noise and therefore will not reproduce satisfactorily. The requirements for a special-form drawing are as follows:
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.
The applicant must submit the following standard character claim: “The mark is presented in standard characters without claim to any particular font style, size, or color.” 37 C.F.R. §2.52(a).
IV. CONCLUSION
If the applicant has any questions or needs assistance in responding to this Office action, please do not hesitate to telephone the assigned examining attorney.
