Serial Number 78/518463
The section 2(d) refusal is withdrawn. The prior pending application is no longer a potential bar to registration of the applicant’s mark. The applicant’s specimen is acceptable for the class 41 services.
The requirement that the applicant properly identify and classify the services is repeated and made FINAL.
It is unclear from the applicant’s identification whether it is providing a venue for concerts, plays, demonstrations, etc. or is actually giving the live musical performances, plays, concerts, etc. It appears from the specimen that the applicant is providing the venue and not actually performing live in concert. The applicant must clarify the actual services being provided.
The applicant may adopt the following identification and classification, if accurate:
Movie theaters; night clubs; amusement arcades in Class 41
Arena services, namely providing facilities for concerts, plays, “how to” performances and demonstrations, musical and comedy shows, visual and audio performances and magic shows in Class 43.
Please note that, while an application may be amended to clarify or limit the identification, additions to the identification are not permitted. 37 C.F.R. Section 2.71(a); TMEP section 804.09. Therefore, the applicant may not amend to include any goods/services that are not within the scope of the goods/services recited in the present identification.
The application identifies goods/services that may be classified in several international classes. Therefore, the applicant must either: (1) restrict the application to the number of classes covered by the fee already paid, or (2) pay the required fee for each additional class. 37 C.F.R. Section 2.86(a)(2); TMEP sections 810.01 and 1113.01.
The filing fee for adding classes to an application is as follows:
(1) $325 per class, when the fees are submitted with a response filed online via the Trademark Electronic Application System (TEAS) at http://www.gov.uspto.report/teas/index.html; and
(2) $375 per class, when the fees are submitted with a paper response.
Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2005, Pub. L. 108-447.
If the applicant prosecutes this application as a combined, or multiple‑class, application, the applicant must comply with each of the following:
(1) The applicant must specifically identify the goods/services in each class and list the goods/services by international class with the classes listed in ascending numerical order. TMEP section 1113.01.
(2) The applicant must submit a filing fee for each international class of goods/services not covered by the fee already paid. 37 C.F.R. Sections 2.6(a)(1) and 2.86(b); TMEP sections 810.01 and 1113.01.
(3) The applicant must submit:
(a) dates of first use and first use in commerce and one specimen for each class that includes goods or services based on use in commerce under Trademark Act Section 1(a). The dates of use must be at least as early as the filing date of this application. 37 C.F.R. Sections 2.34(a)(1) and 2.86(a), and the specimen(s) must have been in use in commerce at least as early as the filing date of the application, and/or
(b) a statement of a bona fide intention to use the mark in commerce on or in connection with all the goods or services specified in each class that includes goods or services based on a bona fide intention to use the mark in commerce under Trademark Act Section 1(b).
(4) The applicant must submit an affidavit or a declaration under 37 C.F.R. Section 2.20 signed by the applicant to verify (3) above. 37 C.F.R. Sections 2.59(a) and 2.71(c).
If applicant fails to respond to this final action within six months of the mailing date, the application will be abandoned. 15 U.S.C. §1062(b); 37 C.F.R. §2.65(a). Applicant may respond to this final action by:
(1) submitting a response that fully satisfies all outstanding requirements, if feasible (37 C.F.R. §2.64(a)); and/or
(2) filing an appeal to the Trademark Trial and Appeal Board, with an appeal fee of $100 per class (37 C.F.R. §§2.6(a)(18) and 2.64(a); TMEP §§715.01 and 1501 et seq.; TBMP Chapter 1200).
In certain circumstances, a petition to the Director may be filed to review a final action that is limited to procedural issues, pursuant to 37 C.F.R. §2.63(b)(2). 37 C.F.R. §2.64(a). See 37 C.F.R. §2.146(b), TMEP §1704, and TBMP Chapter 1201.05 for an explanation of petitionable matters. The petition fee is $100. 37 C.F.R. §2.6(a)(15).
