EXAMINER’S AMENDMENT
AMENDMENT: In accordance with the authorization granted by Daniel Chapman on March 30, 2009, the application has been AMENDED as indicated below. Please advise the undersigned examining attorney immediately if there is an objection to the amendment. Otherwise, no response is necessary. TMEP §707. Please note that all issues not discussed in this office action have been resolved.
If the identification of goods and/or services has been amended, please note that any future amendments must be in accordance with 37 C.F.R. §2.71(a) and TMEP §1402.07(e).
DRAWING
The following standard character drawing claim is added to the record:
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).
PUBLICATION FOR OPPOSITION
After all issues have been obviated, the examining attorney will approve the mark for publication in the Official Gazette, a weekly publication of the USPTO.
The USPTO will send a NOTICE OF PUBLICATION to the applicant stating the date of publication. Any party who believes it may be damaged by registration of the mark has thirty (30) days from the publication date to file either an opposition to registration or a request to extend the time to oppose. An opposition is similar to a proceeding in a federal court, but is held before the Trademark Trial and Appeal Board, a USPTO administrative tribunal. See http://www.gov.uspto.report/web/offices/dcom/ttab/index.html. If no opposition is filed or if the opposition is unsuccessful, the application enters the next stage of the registration process. A Certificate of Registration will issue for applications based on use, or a Notice of Allowance will issue for intent-to-use applications.
CERTIFICATE OF REGISTRATION OR NOTICE OF ALLOWANCE
If the mark is published based upon the actual use of the mark in commerce under §1(a), or on a foreign registration under §44(e), and no party files an opposition or request to extend the time to oppose, the USPTO will normally register the mark and issue a registration certificate about twelve (12) weeks after the date the mark was published.
If the mark is published based upon the applicant's bona fide intention to use the mark in commerce under §1(b), the USPTO will issue a NOTICE OF ALLOWANCE about twelve (12) weeks after the date the mark was published, if no party files either an opposition or request to extend the time to oppose. The applicant then has six (6) months from the date of the NOTICE OF ALLOWANCE to either:
· use the mark in commerce and submit a STATEMENT OF USE; or
· request a six-month EXTENSION OF TIME TO FILE A STATEMENT OF
USE.
Both forms are available at http://www.gov.uspto.report/teas/eTEASforms.htm.
See Additional Requirements for 'Intent to Use' Applications:
http://www.gov.uspto.report/web/offices/tac/doc/basic/addreq.htm. If the STATEMENT OF USE is filed and approved, the USPTO will issue the registration certificate.
