OFFICE ACTION (OFFICIAL LETTER) ABOUT APPLICANT’S TRADEMARK APPLICATION

 

 

 

EXAMINER’S AMENDMENT

 

 

ISSUE/MAILING DATE: 7/31/2010

 

 

APPLICATION HAS BEEN AMENDED:  The trademark examining attorney is amending the application as follows.  No prior approval or authorization from applicant or applicant’s attorney is required.  TMEP §707.02.

 

Applicant did not respond to the previously issued Office action within six months of the date of issuance of the action.  The outstanding refusal and requirements applied to only a portion of the application.  Therefore, a portion of the application is abandoned.  See 15 U.S.C. §1062(b); 37 C.F.R. §2.65(a); TMEP §718.02(a). 

 

The application will proceed with the following identification:  “computer screen saver software; mousepads; decorative magnets.”  The remaining portion of the identification that was the subject of the partial refusal and requirements will be deleted from the application.

 

Applicant may petition to revive the portion of the application that abandoned, if the failure to respond was unintentional.  A petition must be filed within two months of the date of issuance of this action and can be filed online at http://www.gov.uspto.report/teas/index.html.  37 C.F.R. §2.66(a); TMEP §§718.02(a), 1714.01(d).
