EXAMINER’S AMENDMENT
ISSUE/MAILING DATE: 10/2/2013
DATABASE SEARCH: The trademark examining attorney has searched the USPTO’s database of registered and pending marks and has found no conflicting marks that would bar registration under Trademark Act Section 2(d). TMEP §704.02; see 15 U.S.C. §1052(d).
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.
Section 2(f) Claim Accepted
The trademark examining attorney has carefully considered the applicant’s arguments in the amendment of September 30, 2013, but remains of the opinion that the mark is descriptive of the applicant’s services pursuant to Section 2(e)(1) of the Trademark Act. However, upon consideration of the additional evidence provided by the applicant in support of a Section 2(f) claim of acquired distinctiveness, the trademark examining attorney is persuaded that the applicant’s mark has acquired distinctiveness pursuant to Section 2(f) of the Trademark Act. Accordingly, the applicant’s mark will proceed to publication for registration on the Principal Register with a Section 2(f) claim of acquired distinctiveness.
