EXAMINER’S AMENDMENT
Issue date: September 24, 2019
The Office has reassigned this application to the undersigned trademark examining attorney.
PARTIAL ABANDONMENT – APPLICATION HAS BEEN AMENDED
The above-referenced application is partially abandoned because applicant failed to file a response to the Office action dated February 8, 2019. See 15 U.S.C. §1062(b); 37 C.F.R. §2.65(a)-(a)(1); TMEP §718.02(a). To avoid partial abandonment, a response was due within six months from the date on which the USPTO sent the previous Office action; however, no response was received within this time period. See TMEP §711.
The outstanding Office action included a refusal that applied to only a portion of the application; therefore, only that portion of the application is abandoned. See 15 U.S.C. §1062(b); 37 C.F.R. §2.65(a)(1); TMEP §718.02(a).
The portion of the identification that was the subject of the refusal (specifically, Classes 14, 18, 21, and 25) will be deleted from the application. The application will proceed with the following identification:
International Class 41: Entertainment and educational services in the nature of competitions in the field of entertainment, education, culture, sports, and other non-business and non-commercial fields; Organizing and conducting college sport competitions and athletic events
If applicant’s failure to respond was unintentional, applicant may file a petition to the Director to revive the portion of the application that abandoned. 37 C.F.R. §2.66(a); TMEP §§718.02(a), 1714.01(d). The petition must be filed within two months of the date of issuance of this letter and may be filed online via the Trademark Electronic Application System (TEAS) with a $100 fee. See 37 C.F.R. §§2.6(a)(15)(ii), 2.66(a)(1); TMEP §§718.02(a), 1714.01(a), (d). Once the petition is filed, please notify the Petitions Office at 571-272-8950 that a request to revive a partially-abandoned application was filed, indicating the application serial number.
