TO AVOID ABANDONMENT, THE OFFICE MUST RECEIVE A PROPER RESPONSE TO THIS OFFICE ACTION WITHIN 6 MONTHS OF THE ISSUE/MAILING DATE.
The statement of use has been reviewed by the assigned trademark examining attorney. Applicant must respond timely and completely to the issue(s) below. 15 U.S.C. §1062(b); 37 C.F.R. §§2.62, 2.65(a); TMEP §§711, 718.03.
Specimen Does Not Match Drawing
The mark on the drawing must be a substantially exact representation of the mark as used on or in connection with the goods and/or services, as shown by the specimen. 37 C.F.R. §2.51(b); TMEP §807.12(a); see 37 C.F.R. §2.72(b)(1).
Therefore, applicant must submit one of the following:
(1) A new drawing of the mark that agrees with the mark on the specimen but does not materially alter the original mark See 37 C.F.R. §2.72(b); TMEP §§807.13(a), 807.14 et seq.; or
(2) A substitute specimen showing use in commerce of the mark on the drawing, and the following statement, verified with an affidavit or signed declaration under 37 C.F.R. §§2.20, 2.33: “The substitute specimen was in use in commerce prior to the expiration of the time allowed applicant for filing a statement of use.” See 37 C.F.R. §2.59(b)(2); TMEP §§807.12(a), 904.05. If submitting a specimen requires an amendment to the dates of use, applicant must also verify the amended dates. 37 C.F.R. §2.71(c); TMEP §904.05.
Applicant may not withdraw the statement of use. 37 C.F.R. §2.88(g); TMEP §1109.17.
