Additionally, for applications filed under Trademark Act Section 66(a), the scope of the identification for purposes of permissible amendments is limited by the international class assigned by the International Bureau of the World Intellectual Property Organization (International Bureau); and the classification of goods and services may not be changed from that assigned by the International Bureau. 37 C.F.R. §2.85(d); TMEP §§1401.03(d), 1904.02(b). Further, in a multiple-class Section 66(a) application, classes may not be added or goods and services transferred from one existing class to another. 37 C.F.R. §2.85(d); TMEP §1401.03(d).
For assistance with identifying and classifying goods and services in trademark applications, please see the USPTO’s online searchable U.S. Acceptable Identification of Goods and Services Manual. See TMEP §1402.04.
ENTITY & CITIZENSHIP CLARIFICATION REQUIRED
Acceptable legal entities include an individual, a partnership, a corporation, a joint venture, or the foreign equivalent. See TMEP §§803.03 et seq. If applicant’s legal entity is an individual, applicant must so specify and provide his or her national citizenship. TMEP §803.03(a). If applicant is a corporation, association, partnership, joint venture, or the foreign equivalent, applicant must so specify and provide the foreign country under whose laws applicant is organized or incorporated. TMEP §803.03(b)-(c). For an association, applicant must also specify whether the association is incorporated or unincorporated, unless the foreign country and the designation or description “association/associazione” appear in Appendix D of the Trademark Manual of Examining Procedure (TMEP). TMEP §803.03(c). If applicant is organized under the laws of a foreign province or geographical region, applicant should specify both the foreign province or geographical region and the foreign country in which the province or region is located. See TMEP §803.04.
To provide this entity information using the Trademark Electronic Application System (TEAS) Response to Office Action form, applicant must open the response form, answer “Yes” to wizard question number 5, find the “Owner Information” page, and do the following: (1) locate the “Entity Type” heading on that page and select “Other;” (2) locate the “Specify Entity Type” heading and select “Other” under the Foreign Entity option, and enter in the free-text field below both applicant’s entity type and the foreign province or geographical region of its organization (e.g., partnership of Victoria); and (3) locate the “State or Country Where Legally Organized” heading and select the appropriate foreign country (e.g., Australia) under the Non-U.S. Entity option.
REQUEST FOR INFORMATION REGARDING GOODS IN CLASS 20
Finally, applicant must provide written responses to the following questions:
(1) Does the bone/whalebone/horn fall under an exception in the ESA/MMPA/African Elephant Conservation Act?
(2) If these goods and/or services fall under an exception in the ESA/MMPA/African Elephant Conservation Act, please explain how the goods and/or services constitute an exception. For example, if the goods qualify as exempted antiques under the ESA, please provide such information.
Failure to comply with a request for information is grounds for refusing registration. In re Harley, 119 USPQ2d 1755, 1757-58 (TTAB 2016); TMEP §814. Merely stating that information about the goods and services is available on applicant’s website is an insufficient response and will not make the relevant information of record. See In re Planalytics, Inc., 70 USPQ2d 1453, 1457-58 (TTAB 2004).
Applicant is advised that, if applicant’s response to this request for information indicates that the goods identified in the application do not comply with the ESA/MMPA/African Elephant Conservation Act, registration may be refused on the ground that the applied-for mark is not in lawful use in commerce. Trademark Act Sections 1 and 45, 15 U.S.C. §§1051, 1127; see TMEP §907.
