TO AVOID ABANDONMENT, THE OFFICE MUST RECEIVE A PROPER RESPONSE TO THIS OFFICE ACTION WITHIN 6 MONTHS OF THE ISSUE/MAILING DATE.
The referenced application has been reviewed by the assigned trademark examining attorney. Applicant must respond timely and completely to the issue(s) below. 15 U.S.C. §1062(b); 37 C.F.R. §§2.62(a), 2.65(a); TMEP §§711, 718.03.
Search
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).
Identification
For assistance with identifying goods and/or services in trademark applications, please see the online searchable Manual of Acceptable Identifications of Goods and Services at http://tess2.gov.uspto.report/netahtml/tidm.html. See TMEP §1402.04. Applicants who do not find desirable wording for its goods and services in the Manual may wish to craft their own amendment(s) to the identification. In so doing, applicant should use wording similar to the identification of registrations that are less than a year old. In the alternative, applicant may wish to submit the desired identification to the following electronic mail box for potential approval: IDSUGGEST@USPTO.GOV. Applicants are typically notified within a week as to the approval or disapproval of the suggested identification.
Proper classification of goods and services is a purely administrative matter within the sole discretion of the United States Patent and Trademark Office. In re Tee-Pak, Inc., 164 USPQ 88, 89 (TTAB 1969).
