REQUEST FOR RECONSIDERATION DENIED
The trademark examining attorney has carefully reviewed applicant’s request for reconsideration and is denying the request for the reasons stated below. See 37 C.F.R. §2.64(b); TMEP §§715.03(a)(2)(B), (a)(2)(E), 715.04(a). The requirement(s) and/or refusal(s) made final in the Office action dated 7/8/2013 are maintained and continue to be final. See TMEP §§715.03(a)(2)(B), (a)(2)(E), 715.04(a).
In the present case, applicant’s request has not resolved all the outstanding issue(s), nor does it raise a new issue or provide any new or compelling evidence with regard to the outstanding issue(s) in the final Office action. In addition, applicant’s analysis and arguments are not persuasive nor do they shed new light on the issues. Accordingly, the request is denied.
Specifically, applicant has not provided an acceptable description of the mark. Applicant has again entered the same unacceptable description. The current description is not acceptable because it does not specifically identify the wording and the nature of the design.
The mark consists of the stylized wording "VENUM" under a design of a snake's head.
The filing of a request for reconsideration does not extend the time for filing a proper response to a final Office action or an appeal with the Trademark Trial and Appeal Board (Board), which runs from the date the final Office action was issued/mailed. See 37 C.F.R. §2.64(b); TMEP §715.03, (a)(2)(B), (a)(2)(E), (c).
If time remains in the six-month response period to the final Office action, applicant has the remainder of the response period to comply with and/or overcome any outstanding final requirement(s) and/or refusal(s) and/or to file an appeal with the Board. TMEP §715.03(a)(2)(B), (c). However, if applicant has already filed a timely notice of appeal with the Board, the Board will be notified to resume the appeal when the time for responding to the final Office action has expired. See TMEP §715.04(a).
