The assigned examining attorney has reviewed the referenced application and 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. Section 1052(d). TMEP Section 704.02.
If the applicant is the owner of Registration No. 3215401, 3215468 and 3229463, the applicant must submit a claim of ownership. 37 C.F.R. Section 2.36; TMEP section 812.
The digitized image of the mark is unclear and does not show the mark in sufficient detail. A clear drawing of the mark is an application requirement. 37 C.F.R. §2.52. Therefore, applicant must submit a new drawing showing the mark clearly.
If applicant submits a new drawing in the form of a digitized image, it must be in JPG format. The Office recommends that the digitized image have a length and width no smaller than 250 pixels and no larger than 944 pixels. 37 C.F.R. §2.53(c); TMEP §807.05(c).
Amendments or changes to the applied-for mark in a substitute drawing will not be accepted if the changes would materially alter the mark. 37 C.F.R. §2.72; TMEP §807.14.
In this case, the mark is provided as an very small image in the top corner of the page and is not easily identifiable.
If the applicant has any questions or needs assistance in responding to this Office action, please telephone the assigned examining attorney. Thank you.

NOTICE OF NEW PROCEDURE FOR E-MAILED OFFICE ACTIONS: In late spring 2007, for any applicant who authorizes e-mail communication with the USPTO, the USPTO will no longer directly e-mail the actual Office action to the applicant. Instead, upon issuance of an Office action, the USPTO will e-mail the applicant a notice with a link/web address to access the Office action using Trademark Document Retrieval (TDR), which is located on the USPTO website at http://portal.gov.uspto.report/external/portal/tow. The Office action will not be attached to the e-mail notice. Upon receipt of the notice, the applicant can then view and print the actual Office action and any evidentiary attachments using the provided link/web address. TDR is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week, including holidays and weekends. This new process is intended to eliminate problems associated with e-mailed Office actions that contain numerous attachments.
