Dear Ms. DiConza:

 

The petition to the Director of the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) regarding the above-identified application was received on July 16, 2019.  See 37 C.F.R. §2.146(a).

 

The petition is incomplete because it does not include a declaration under Trademark Rule 2.20 verifying the statement of the relevant facts in support of the petition.  37 C.F.R. §2.20.  The following is a properly worded declaration under Rule 2.20 and should be inserted at the end or your statement of facts supporting the petition.  This declaration must be personally signed by a person with firsthand knowledge of the facts being set forth and dated, with the printed or typed name of the signatory appearing immediately below.  See 37 C.F.R. §§2.146(c), 2.193(d); TMEP §1705.03.  If you submit the declaration using the petition response form, the declaration language will be pre-populated.

 

The signatory being warned that willful false statements and the like are punishable by fine or imprisonment, or both, under 18 U.S.C. §1001, and that such willful false statements and the like may jeopardize the validity of the application or submission or any registration resulting therefrom, declares that the facts set forth above are true, all statements made of his or her own knowledge are true, and all statements made on information and belief are believed to be true.

If the USPTO does not receive a declaration verifying the facts within the thirty-day period, the petition will be denied without consideration on the merits.  See TMEP §§1705.02, 1705.03.  The petitioner will not have met the requirements for filing a petition.  Id.
