NOTICE THAT REQUEST FOR EXTENSION OF TIME

TO FILE A STATEMENT OF USE (EXTENSION REQUEST)

IS INCOMPLETE

Response Required

The USPTO must receive applicant’s response to this notice within 30 days of the issue date below or the Extension Request will be denied, and the application may be abandoned. Respond using the Trademark Electronic Application System (TEAS). A link to the appropriate TEAS response form appears below.

Issue date: September 24, 2021

The child application that registered on September 21, 2021, SN 87983966, and is in good standing as it identified goods based on use and the fees were paid.

However, the parent application, SN 87739201, is missing Classes 3, 6, and 20 and possibly some goods and/or services in other classes.

Please clarify what good/services that you would like to keep in the parent applicant and then pay any missing fees. To amend the basis to 44(e), you must file a petition. Additional fees for the fifth extension for the missing classes that the applicant has indicated they would like to have move forward to registration under Section 44(e) are due.

The petition could be filed now but, if you do it now, another division will have to be filed and we are not able to do a partial amendment of basis right now. If you would like to avoid another division, you can file the petition along with the SOU that is due by January 15, 2022.

USPTO OFFICIAL NOTICE

Office action (Official Letter) issued
on 09/24/2021 for
U.S. Trademark Registration No. 0

Your trademark document has been reviewed. The assigned staff member has issued an official letter, and you may be required to respond to avoid cancellation of your registration or final rejection of your filing.

What to do next
1. Read the official letter.

Carefully review the letter to determine:

Whether a response is required, and if so, the response deadline.

How to submit your response using the Trademark Electronic Application System (TEAS).

2. Respond if required.

If you're required to respond, we must receive your response before midnight Eastern Time of the last day of the response period.

If you have questions

Direct questions about the letter to the staff member identified in the letter.

Direct questions about navigating USPTO electronic forms, the USPTO website , the registration maintenance process, the status of your registration, or whether there are outstanding deadlines or documents related to your file to the Trademark Assistance Center (TAC).

Your ongoing responsibilities

Check the status of your registration periodically in the Trademark Status & Document Retrieval (TSDR) database to avoid missing critical deadlines.

Update your correspondence email address , if needed, to ensure you receive important USPTO notices about your registration.

Beware of misleading notices sent by private companies about your registration. Private companies not associated with the USPTO often use public information from trademark registrations to mail and email trademark-related offers and notices - most of which require fees. These companies often have names similar to the USPTO. All official USPTO correspondence is emailed from the domain "@uspto.gov." For a current list of companies the USPTO has received complaints about, information on how to identify these offers and notices, and what to do if you receive one, see the misleading notices webpage.
