POST PUBLICATION AMENDMENT REFUSED
Dear Mr. Petersen:
The assigned paralegal has determined that the post-publication amendment filed on March 27, 2014, was submitted too late or was not processed in time to withdraw the mark from the scheduled issuance of a notice of allowance. Therefore, the contents of the amendment have not been reviewed.
The only amendments that will be entered in a §1(b) application between the issuance of a notice of allowance and the submission of a statement of use are those outlined in the Trademark Manual of Examining Procedure (TMEP) §1107. All other amendments are placed in the record for consideration by the examining attorney during examination of the statement of use.
If the applicant wants the amendment considered prior to filing a statement of use, you may file a petition to the Director under 37 C.F.R. §2.146 to waive 37 C.F.R. §2.77 to permit the examining attorney to examine the amendment prior to the filing of a statement of use. TMEP §1505.01(d). The petition must be signed by the individual petitioner, someone with legal authority to bind a juristic petitioner (e.g., a corporate officer or general partner of a partnership), or a practitioner authorized to practice before the USPTO pursuant to 37 C.F.R. §11.14. In the case of joint petitioners who are not represented by a qualified practitioner, all must sign. 37 C.F.R. §§2.146(c) and 2.193(e)(5)(ii); TMEP §1705.07.
Sincerely,
/Carol P. Smith/
