TO AVOID ABANDONMENT, THE OFFICE MUST RECEIVE A PROPER RESPONSE TO THIS OFFICE ACTION WITHIN 6 MONTHS OF THE ISSUE/MAILING DATE.
ISSUE/MAILING DATE: 8/13/2007
The assigned trademark examining attorney has reviewed the applicant’s response to the January 11, 2007 Office Action and has determined the following:
Applicant’s response, filed on July 11, 2007 via the Trademark Electronic Application System (TEAS), is incomplete because the only data transmitted to the USPTO is the electronic signature of the person who submitted the response.
To avoid abandonment, applicant must submit a complete response within (1) the time remaining in the six-month period for response to the last Office action, or (2) thirty days from the mailing date of this letter, whichever is longer. 37 C.F.R. §2.65(b); TMEP §718.03(b). This does not extend the time for filing a notice of appeal. 37 C.F.R. §2.64(b); TMEP §§715.03 and 715.03(c).
If the response is filed via TEAS, applicant should review the resulting e-mail acknowledgement to ensure that all the data entered by applicant in the response appears in the e-mail. If any data is missing from the e-mail acknowledgement, the Office has not received that data and the response may not be complete. If this happens, applicant should immediately resubmit the amendment if time remains to respond.
The Section 2(d) Likelihood of Confusion refusal and Disclaimer requirement are thus maintained and continued.
TEAS PLUS APPLICANTS MUST SUBMIT DOCUMENTS ELECTRONICALLY OR SUBMIT FEE: TEAS Plus applicants should submit the following documents using the Trademark Electronic Application System (TEAS) at http://www.gov.uspto.report/teas/index.html: (1) written responses to Office actions; (2) preliminary amendments; (3) changes of correspondence address; (4) changes of owner’s address; (5) appointments and revocations of attorney; (6) amendments to allege use; (7) statements of use; (8) requests for extension of time to file a statement of use, and (9) requests to delete a §1(b) basis. If any of these documents are filed on paper, they must be accompanied by a $50 per class fee. 37 C.F.R. §§2.6(a)(1)(iv) and 2.23(a)(i). Telephone responses will not incur an additional fee. NOTE: In addition to the above, applicant must also continue to accept correspondence from the Office via e-mail throughout the examination process in order to avoid the additional fee. 37 C.F.R. §2.23(a)(2).
