PARTIAL ABANDONMENT – APPLICATION HAS BEEN AMENDED

 

The above-referenced application is partially abandoned because applicant failed to file a response to the Office action dated January 9,2019.  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:
