REQUEST FOR RECONSIDERATION DENIED
ISSUE/MAILING DATE: 4/3/2014
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 made final in the Office action dated March 10, 2014 is 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, nor does it raise a new issue or provide any new or compelling evidence with regard to the outstanding issue in the final Office action. The substitute specimen indicates that applicant offers seminars about its COMPLETE services, but it does not show that applicant offers the Class 41 services in connection with the COMPLETE mark. Accordingly, the request is denied.
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 and/or to file an appeal with the Board. TMEP §715.03(a)(2)(B), (c).
Partial Abandonment Advisory: Applicant must respond within six months of the date of issuance of the final Office action or Class 41 will be deleted from the application by Examiner’s Amendment, and the application will then proceed with Class 44 only. 37 C.F.R. §2.65(a); see 15 U.S.C. §1062(b).
