Notice of Incomplete Response to a Final Office Action – Additional Time Granted to Resolve Issues
Deadline for responding to this notice. To avoid abandonment of this application, the USPTO must receive one or both of the following submissions within the stated timeframe:
(1) File a complete response to the outstanding issues listed below that the USPTO receives within (1) thirty days of the issue date above, or (2) the time remaining in the six-month period for responding to the previous Office action, whichever is longer; and/or
(2) File a notice of appeal that the Trademark Trial and Appeal Board receives within six months from the issue date of the previous final Office action. This notice of incomplete response does not extend the time for filing an appeal.
See 15 U.S.C. §1062(b); 37 C.F.R. §2.65(a)(2); TMEP §§715.03(a)(ii)(C), 718.03(b).
Applicant granted additional time to resolve outstanding issues. On 3/16/20, applicant filed a timely request for reconsideration that did not resolve all the issues in the 10/8/19 final Office action. Because applicant made a bona fide attempt to advance the examination of the application in the response in compliance with 37 C.F.R. §2.65(a)(2), applicant is being granted additional time to address the following refusals and/or requirements in the previous Office action:
• Amended Identification of Services
These refusal(s) and/or requirement(s) are maintained and continued. See TMEP §713.02.
The following refusal(s) and/or requirement(s) are satisfied:
• Trademark Act Section 2(d)
• Specimen Refusal
Applicant may view this notice and the previously issued final Office action in the Trademark Status and Document Retrieval (TSDR) system.
