This Office action is in response to applicant’s communication filed on Oct 8, 2020.

The application is suspended for the reason specified below.  See 37 C.F.R. §2.67; TMEP §§716 et seq. 

 

FOREIGN REGISTRATION

 

Applicant is required to provide a copy of a foreign registration from applicant’s country of origin; the foreign registration must be valid when the U.S. registration issues.  15 U.S.C. §1126(e); 37 C.F.R. §2.34(a)(3)(ii)-(iii); TMEP §§1004, 1004.01(a).  Action on the application is suspended until the USPTO receives a copy of such foreign registration or proof that the foreign registration was renewed.  TMEP §§716.02(b), 1003.04.  Applicant must also provide an English translation if the foreign registration or renewal document is not in English.  37 C.F.R. §2.34(a)(3)(ii)-(iii). 

 

If the foreign application abandons or the foreign registration is not renewed, applicant should promptly notify the trademark examining attorney.  See TMEP §§1003.08, 1004.01(a).  In such case, applicant may amend the application to rely on another filing basis, if appropriate, and will retain the priority filing date, if applicable.  TMEP §§1003.08, 1004.01(a).

 

The USPTO will periodically check this application to determine if it should remain suspended.  See TMEP §716.04.  As needed, the trademark examining attorney will issue a letter to applicant to inquire about the status of the reason for the suspension.  TMEP §716.05. 

 

Applicant may file a response, but is not required to do so.

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

 

 

 

GENERAL GUIDANCE

·       Check the status of your application 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 application.

 

·       Beware of misleading notices sent by private companies about your application.  Private companies not associated with the USPTO use public information available in trademark registrations to mail and email trademark-related offers and notices – most of which require fees.  All official USPTO correspondence will only be emailed from the domain “@uspto.gov.”
