Translation Inquiry
IN the first Office action, the examining attorney required applicant to submit a translation statement for the term OROS, suggesting GOLDS. In its response, the applicant submitted a translation statement translating OROS as MOUNTAIN. While, applicant has not identified the source language, Google Translate translates the term as GOLDS (see attached). Accordingly, applicant must specify the language of for the applicant’s translation and confirm the accuracy of such translation for the record. See TMEP §809.02
The following translation statement is suggested:
The English translation of the word “OROS” in the mark is “GOLDS”.
