Examiners Amendment

UNITED STATES PATENT AND TRADEMARK OFFICE (USPTO)

OFFICE ACTION (OFFICIAL LETTER) ABOUT APPLICANT’S TRADEMARK APPLICATION

 

 

 

EXAMINER’S AMENDMENT

 

ISSUE/MAILING DATE: 1/23/2019

 

DATABASE SEARCH:  The trademark examining attorney has searched the USPTO’s database of registered and pending marks and has found no conflicting marks that would bar registration under Trademark Act Section 2(d).  TMEP §704.02; see 15 U.S.C. §1052(d).

 

APPLICATION HAS BEEN AMENDED:  To place the application in condition for publication, the consent statement submitted with the application is amended as follows to place it in the proper format for printing in the Official Gazette and on the registration certificate:

 

The name shown in the mark identifies Kevin Pederson, whose consent to register is made of record.

 

TMEP § 813.01(a).

 

No response is necessary.  TMEP §707.

 

WHAT HAPPENS NEXT: After this Examiner’s Amendment is issued, the mark will be approved for publication in the USPTO’s Trademark Official Gazette, a weekly online publication. Although rare, withdrawal of approval prior to publication can occur after the USPTO conducts its final review of this application. Unless withdrawal occurs, applicant will next receive a “Notice of Publication” specifying the date on which the mark will be published in the Official Gazette.  If no party files an opposition, the USPTO will then issue a “Notice of Allowance” approximately eight (8) weeks after the date the mark was published.  Applicant will then have six (6) months from the date of the Notice of Allowance to file a “Statement of Use” or to file a request for a six-month “Extension of Time to file a Statement of Use.”  Only after a Statement of Use has been filed and approved will the USPTO issue a registration certificate.
