Offc Action Outgoing

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

DRAWING OF THE MARK

The drawing shows the mark with some degree of stylization; thus, it is not clear whether applicant intends to depict the mark in standard characters or in a special form drawing format. TMEP §807.03(h).

A standard character drawing must show the applied-for mark depicted in Latin characters, Roman or Arabic numerals, with common punctuation or diacritical marks, with no design element or stylization of lettering/numbers, and no claim to any particular font, style, size or color. 37 C.F.R. §2.52(a); TMEP §807.03(a). A special form drawing can include stylization of lettering/numbers, as well as design elements. 37 C.F.R. §2.52(b); TMEP §807.04(a).

If a standard character drawing was intended, then applicant must submit the following statement: “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). If a special form drawing was intended, then applicant must state so for the record. See 37 C.F.R. §2.52(b); TMEP §§807.04 et seq.
