The assigned trademark examining attorney has reviewed the referenced application and has determined the following:
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. §1052(d). TMEP §704.02.
However, the applicant must respond to the following informality.
Applicant must submit an English translation of the foreign word “MAKANA” appearing in the mark. 37 C.F.R. §2.61(b); TMEP §809. In this regard, applicant’s companion application for the same mark, Appln. Serial No. 78/555,680, indicates that “the foreign wording in the mark translates into English as reward or gift.” Accordingly, the following translation statement is suggested:
The English translation of the word “Makana” in the mark is “reward” or “gift.”
$50 Additional Fee Required—Application Requirement(s) Not Met
Applicant must submit an additional application processing fee of $50 per class because the application as filed does not meet the TEAS Plus application requirements in 37 C.F.R. §2.22(a). 37 C.F.R. §§2.6(a)(iv) and 2.22(b). The following application requirement was not met: a translation of the non-English word in the mark. Please see the requirement above for more information.
