Examiners Amendment

OFFICE SEARCH: The examining attorney has searched the Office’s database of registered and pending marksand has found no conflicting marks thatwould bar registration under Trademark Act Section 2(d). 15 U.S.C. §1052(d); TMEP §704.02.

AMENDMENT: In accordance with the authorization granted by Joseph Sutton on March 18, 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.

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 amended drawing is acceptable. The standard character claim is removed as the drawing is in stylized form.

DESCRIPTION OF THE MARK

The following description of the mark is added to the record:

The mark consists of the stylized wording GREENHOUSE and the design of a tree within the outline of a house.

See 37 C.F.R. §2.37; TMEP §§808 et seq.

IDENTIFICATION

The identification of goods and services is amended to read as follows: “Paper towels, toilet paper, roll paper towels, and facial tissues.” TMEP §1402.01(e).

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.
