ISSUE/MAILING DATE: 12/13/2007

 

 

This letter responds to the applicant’s communication filed on 12/12/07.

 

The applicant failed to respond to all the identified issues in the office action of 06/13/07.  This application will be abandoned if response is not received within 30 days of this office action.

 

 

Incomplete Response

Applicant’s 12/12/07 response to the Office action dated 06/13/07 is incomplete because the applicant failed to respond to all the issues raised by the examining attorney, i.e., provide a new specimen of use, provide supportive declaration and disclaim unregistrable component of the mark.  Applicant must submit a complete response within (1) thirty days of the mailing date of this letter or, (2) the time remaining in the period for response to the last Office action, whichever is longer.  If no response is received within the relevant time period, the application will abandon.  37 C.F.R. §2.65(b); TMEP §718.03(b). 

 

If the most recent Office action was final, this extension of time to file a complete response 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).
