EXAMINER’S AMENDMENT

 

ISSUE/MAILING DATE: 3/27/2017

 

 

PARTIAL ABANDONMENT – APPLICATION HAS BEEN AMENDED

 

The above-referenced application is abandoned in part because applicant failed to file a response to the Office action dated August 22, 2017.  See 15 U.S.C. §1062(b); 37 C.F.R. §2.65(a)-(a)(1); TMEP §718.02(a).  To avoid partial abandonment, a response was due within six months from the date on which the USPTO sent the previous Office action; however, no response was received within this time period.  See TMEP §711. 

 

The outstanding Office action included refusal(s) and/or requirement(s) that applied to only a portion of the application; therefore, only that portion of the application is abandoned.  See 15 U.S.C. §1062(b); 37 C.F.R. §2.65(a)(1); TMEP §718.02(a). 

 

The portion of the identification that was the subject of the refusal(s) and/or requirement(s) will be deleted from the application.  The application will proceed with the following identification:  Cosmetics; adhesives for affixing false eyelashes, hair, nails, and false nails; nail care preparations, namely, nail conditioner; nail-polish corrector pen; false nails, namely, acrylic artificial nails in liquid form; false nails, namely, acrylic artificial nails in powder form; lotions for strengthening the nails; nail care preparations; nail buffing preparations; nail care preparations, namely, nail softeners; nail cream; nail enamel; nail enamels; nail glitter; nail grooming products, namely, tips, glue, lacquer and glitter; nail hardeners; nail polish; nail polish base coat; nail polish remover; nail polish top coat; nail stencils; nail strengtheners; nail tips; nail varnish for cosmetic purposes; gel nail polish; tint nail polish; glitter nail polish; ultra violet gel nail polish; ultra violet nail powder; nail art liner; gel eye masks; acrylic nail hardeners; glitter for cosmetic purposes; fingernail decals and stickers for cosmetic or nail art purposes; beads for nail art purposes; nail paint for nail art purposes; coloring pens for nail art purposes; nail tape for nail art purposes; striping tape for nail art purposes; nail wraps for nail repair purposes; coloring preparations for cosmetic purposes; nail care oils; cuticle remover; acetone for cosmetic purposes, namely, acetone for nail polish removal, artificial nails; nail art kits consisting of adhesives, glitter and decorative adhesive decals; preparations for forming artificial nails, namely, acrylic nail maker and sculpture gel; nail art decals, namely, crushed sea shell, ice polyester film, metallic bead, gimo, and dry flowers; mood color changing nail polish; false nail extensions tips; nail art dropper; fingernail cosmetics kit containing finger rest, nail polish, false nails, nail glitter, nail decals, nail stamp device, nail sequins, and emery board; pumice pads for personal use. 

 

If applicant’s failure to respond was unintentional, applicant may file a petition to the Director to revive the portion of the application that abandoned.  37 C.F.R. §2.66(a); TMEP §§718.02(a), 1714.01(d).  The petition must be filed within two months of the date of issuance of this letter and may be filed online via the Trademark Electronic Application System (TEAS) with a $100 fee.  See 37 C.F.R. §§2.6(a)(15)(ii), 2.66(a)(1); TMEP §§718.02(a), 1714.01(a), (d).  Once the petition is filed, please notify the Petitions Office at 571-272-8950 that a request to revive a partially-abandoned application was filed, indicating the application serial number.

WARNING

 

PRIVATE COMPANY SOLICITATIONS REGARDING YOUR APPLICATION:  Private companies not associated with the USPTO are using information provided in trademark applications to mail or e-mail trademark-related solicitations.  These companies often use names that closely resemble the USPTO and their solicitations may look like an official government document.  Many solicitations require that you pay “fees.” 

 

Please carefully review all correspondence you receive regarding this application to make sure that you are responding to an official document from the USPTO rather than a private company solicitation.  All official USPTO correspondence will be mailed only from the “United States Patent and Trademark Office” in Alexandria, VA; or sent by e-mail from the domain “@uspto.gov.”  For more information on how to handle private company solicitations, see http://www.gov.uspto.report/trademarks/solicitation_warnings.jsp.
