UNITED STATES PATENT AND TRADEMARK OFFICE (USPTO)

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

 

 

 

EXAMINER’S AMENDMENT

 

ISSUE/MAILING DATE: 2/11/2019

 

The referenced application has been reviewed by the assigned trademark examining attorney. 

 

SEARCH OF OFFICE’S DATABASE OF MARKS

 

The trademark examining attorney has searched the Office’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).

 

In accordance with the authorization granted by Sandy Swerdloff, Contracts Department, on February 11, 2019, the trademark examining attorney has amended the application as indicated below. Please advise the undersigned immediately of any objections. TMEP §707. 

 

The information provided in this Examiner’s Amendment is merely advisory and confirms that the change discussed herein has been made. Applicant does not need to respond to this Examiner’s Amendment.

 

VOLUNTARY DISCLAIMER WITHDRAWN

 

Applicant has authorized the withdrawal of applicant’s voluntary disclaimer of “CASE”. The disclaimer is hereby deleted from the application.  See 15 U.S.C. §1056(a); TMEP §1213.01(c). 

 

ADVISORY: NEXT STEPS FOR THIS APPLICATION

 

At this time, barring some unforeseen circumstance that might require further action, the application appears ready for publication in the Trademark Official Gazette. For more information about the Trademark Official Gazette, see http://www.gov.uspto.report/learning-and-resources/official-gazette/trademark-official-gazette-tmog.

 

In preparation for publication, the application will first be reviewed by another attorney, and, if it has been determined that the undersigned examining attorney has inadvertently overlooked an issue, the undersigned examining attorney will contact applicant again to resolve the missed issue.

 

If the reviewing attorney finds no outstanding issue needs to be resolved, the next communication applicant will receive will arrive in a few weeks, which will be an official email from the USPTO stating the date that applicant’s mark will be published. Once the mark is published, it enters a 30-day opposition period. During this 30-day period, third parties are given the opportunity to review the mark, and the mark may be opposed by a third party if that third party believes that the mark is confusingly similar to a third-party mark. 

 

If the mark is not opposed during this 30-day period, the mark will then be allowed registration on the Principal Register, and applicant will receive an official registration certificate from the USPTO. Once applicant receives the official registration certificate, applicant may begin using the federal registration symbol ® with the mark in connection with the goods listed in the application.

 

For more information regarding application processing timelines, as well as legal deadlines, please visit the USPTO’s website at http://www.gov.uspto.report/trademark/trademark-timelines/trademark-application-and-post-registration-process-timelines.

 

To ensure that applicant receives all communications from the USPTO, applicant should keep the correspondence address (including the email address) for this application current at all times. The “Change of Correspondence Address” form is available at http://teas.gov.uspto.report/ccr/cca. Failure to respond to an official Office action that requires a response will result in abandonment of the application.

WARNING

 

PRIVATE COMPANY SOLICITATIONS REGARDING YOUR APPLICATION:  Private companies not associated with the USPTO are using information provided in trademark applications to mail or e-mail trademark-related solicitations.  These companies often use names that closely resemble the USPTO and their solicitations may look like an official government document.  Many solicitations require that you pay “fees.” 

 

Please carefully review all correspondence you receive regarding this application to make sure that you are responding to an official document from the USPTO rather than a private company solicitation.  All official USPTO correspondence will be mailed only from the “United States Patent and Trademark Office” in Alexandria, VA; or sent by e-mail from the domain “@uspto.gov.”  For more information on how to handle private company solicitations, see http://www.gov.uspto.report/trademarks/solicitation_warnings.jsp.
