This application has been reinstated by the Commissioner for Trademarks. Applicant has six months from the date of this Office action to respond to the issues raised in the previous Office action. TMEP §1714.01(a).
A copy of the previous Office action and any supporting documentation can be viewed and downloaded online at http://portal.gov.uspto.report/external/portal/tow. Enter the serial number of this application in the box labeled NUMBER and click on the SUBMIT button. The Office action can then be viewed by clicking the link labeled “Offc Action Outgoing” next to the Mail/Create Date of September 15, 2008, in Trademark Document Retrieval (TDR). If applicant has any problems viewing the Office action, please contact the undersigned.
If the previous Office action contained fee information or requirements, please confirm current fee information at http://www.uspto.gov.
TEAS PLUS APPLICANTS MUST SUBMIT DOCUMENTS ELECTRONICALLY OR SUBMIT FEE: Applicants who filed their application online using the reduced-fee TEAS Plus application must submit certain documents electronically. In addition, such applicants must accept correspondence from the Office via e-mail throughout the examination process and maintain a valid e-mail address. 37 C.F.R. §§2.23(a), (b); TMEP §§819, 819.02(a), (b). Failure to do so will incur an additional fee of $50 per class of goods and/or services. 37 C.F.R. §2.6(a)(1)(iv); TMEP §819.04.
Therefore, applicant must submit the following documents using the Trademark Electronic Application System (TEAS) at http://www.gov.uspto.report/teas/index.html: (1) responses to Office actions; (2) preliminary amendments; (3) changes of correspondence address; (4) changes of owner’s address; (5) appointments and revocations of power of attorney; (6) appointments and revocations of domestic representative; (7) amendments to allege use; (8) statements of use; (9) requests for extension of time to file a statement of use; and (10) requests to delete a Trademark Act Section 1(b) basis. If applicant files any of these documents on paper instead of via TEAS, then applicant must also submit the $50 per class fee. 37 C.F.R. §§2.6(a)(1)(iv), 2.23(a)(1); TMEP §§819.02(b), 819.04. Telephone responses that result in the issuance of an examiner’s amendment will not incur this additional fee.
