PETITION TO DIRECTOR GRANTED

 

U. S. Trademark Application Serial Number  87/075917

 

The petition to the Director filed on June 15, 2017 for the above-identified trademark application is GRANTED pursuant to 37 C.F.R. §2.146(a)(3).  

 

The application will be returned to the assigned examining attorney to consider the request to amend the basis from Section 1(b) to Section 44(e) of the Trademark Act.  If the amendment is accepted the application will be republished.  If the amendment is refused, applicant will be notified of the refusal.

 

The examining attorney will notify the applicant by telephone or e-mail of the reasons why the amendment is unacceptable.  The applicant may then (1) agree to delete the §1(b) basis so that an examiner's amendment and/or appropriate Office action regarding the requested basis amendment can be issued; (2) withdraw the request to amend the basis; or (3) request that the amendment remain pending until a statement of use is filed. See TMEP §806.03(j). 

 

Please note that since you have requested to maintain the Section 1(b) basis pending consideration of the amendment to Section 44(e), the notice of allowance will not be cancelled and the Section 1(b) basis will not be deleted unless the amendment is accepted.  Therefore, if prior to the acceptance of the amendment by the examining attorney, you fail to file either a statement of use or a request for an extension to file a statement of use when due, the application will be abandoned and a petition to revive will be required to reinstate the application. See 37 C.F.R. §§2.66, 2.89; TMEP §806.03(j).  

 

Please contact the assigned examining attorney directly to check on the status of the amendment to the basis. 

 

 

Sincerely,
