NONFINAL OFFICE ACTION
The USPTO must receive applicant’s response to this letter within six months of the issue date below or the application will be abandoned. Respond using the Trademark Electronic Application System (TEAS). A link to the appropriate TEAS response form appears at the end of this Office action.
Issue date: January 30, 2020
TEAS PLUS OR TEAS REDUCED FEE (TEAS RF) APPLICANTS – TO MAINTAIN LOWER FEE, ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS MUST BE MET, INCLUDING SUBMITTING DOCUMENTS ONLINE: Applicants who filed their application online using the lower-fee TEAS Plus or TEAS RF application form must (1) file certain documents online using TEAS, including responses to Office actions (see TMEP §§819.02(b), 820.02(b) for a complete list of these documents); (2) maintain a valid e-mail correspondence address; and (3) agree to receive correspondence from the USPTO by e-mail throughout the prosecution of the application. See 37 C.F.R. §§2.22(b), 2.23(b); TMEP §§819, 820. TEAS Plus or TEAS RF applicants who do not meet these requirements must submit an additional processing fee of $125 per class of goods and/or services. 37 C.F.R. §§2.6(a)(1)(v), 2.22(c), 2.23(c); TMEP §§819.04, 820.04. However, in certain situations, TEAS Plus or TEAS RF applicants may respond to an Office action by authorizing an examiner’s amendment by telephone or e-mail without incurring this additional fee.
Upon further consideration, the examining attorney makes the following requirement. The Office apologizes for any inconvenience this may cause.
FOREIGN REGISTRATION CERTIFICATE REQUIRED
Therefore, applicant must provide a certificate of renewal or other certification from the intellectual property office of the foreign country or a copy of the foreign registration that shows that the foreign registration has been renewed and will be in force at the time the registration issues in the United States. 37 C.F.R. §2.34(a)(3)(iii); TMEP §1004.01(a). If the certificate of renewal or other certification is not written in English, applicant must also provide an English translation. See 37 C.F.R. §2.34(a)(3)(iii); TMEP §1004.01(a)-(b). The translation should be signed by the translator. See TMEP §1004.01(b).
Alternatively, applicant may rely on the Section 1 basis alone for obtaining a U.S. registration. See 37 C.F.R. §2.34(a)(1)-(2); TMEP §806.01(a), (b). If applicant wants to rely solely on the Section 1 basis and not provide proof of renewal of the foreign registration, applicant can request deletion of the Section 44(e) basis. See 37 C.F.R. §2.35(b)(1); TMEP §806.04.
