A RESPONSE TRANSMITTED THROUGH THE TRADEMARK ELECTRONIC APPLICATION SYSTEM (TEAS) MUST BE RECEIVED BEFORE MIDNIGHT EASTERN TIME OF THE LAST DAY OF THE RESPONSE PERIOD.
ISSUE/MAILING DATE: 2/14/2017
The above-referenced trademark was published on July 14, 2015. On March 4, 2016, a petition was filed to delete the Section 1(b) basis and proceed to registration solely under the Section 44 basis. However, the foreign registration supporting the Section 44 basis expired on July 21, 2016.
Therefore, applicant must provide a certificate of renewal or other certification from the intellectual property office of the foreign country or a copy of the foreign registration that shows that the foreign registration has been renewed and will be in force at the time the registration issues in the United States. 37 C.F.R. §2.34(a)(3)(iii); TMEP §1004.01(a). If the certificate of renewal or other certification is not written in English, applicant must also provide an English translation. See 37 C.F.R. §2.34(a)(3)(iii); TMEP §1004.01(a)-(b). The translation should be signed by the translator. See TMEP §1004.01(b).
