The request for extension of time to file a statement of use (extension request) filed on December 18, 2007, does not meet the minimum filing requirements and is not accepted for the reason(s) set forth below. Since the time period for filing an extension request or statement of use expired on December 19, 2007, the APPLICATION IS ABANDONED. 15 U.S.C. §1051(d); 37 C.F.R. §2.89.
EXTENSION REQUEST IS DEFICIENT AS FOLLOWS:
NO VERIFIED STATEMENT OF APPLICANT’S “BONA FIDE INTENT TO USE THE MARK IN COMMERCE” SUBMITTED: The statement that “applicant has a continued bona fide intention to use the mark in commerce on or in connection with all the goods and/or services under §1(b) in the notice of allowance,” was omitted from the extension request. This statement, verified by affidavit or declaration under 37 C.F.R. §2.20, and signed by applicant or a person authorized to sign on behalf of applicant, is one of the minimum filing requirements. 15 U.S.C. §1051(d)(2); 37 C.F.R. §§2.89(a)(3) and (b)(3); TMEP §1108.02(e).
