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: 6/27/2007
The Office records have been searched and no similar registered or pending mark has been found that would bar registration under Trademark Act Section 2(d), 15 U.S.C. §1052(d). TMEP §704.02. Before the application can proceed to publication, however, certain informalities must be addressed.
PLEASE NOTE: Applicant is encouraged to telephone the trademark-examining attorney to resolve the issues raised below.
Applicant is requested to either (1) confirm the inclusion in the record of the voluntary disclaimer of NIF, or (2) request that it be withdrawn. The trademark-examining attorney would not have required a disclaimer of this wording because the mark is unitary.
While an applicant may voluntarily disclaim registrable matter, if applicant in this case entered the disclaimer under the mistaken belief that it would have been required, then applicant may withdraw the disclaimer. TMEP §1213.01(c).
Applicant must correct the classification of the goods in the application and amend the application to classify them in International Class 009. 37 C.F.R. §§2.32(a)(7) and 2.85; TMEP §§1401.02(a) and 1401.03(b).
