NOTICE THAT REQUEST TO DIVIDE APPLICATION

IS INCOMPLETE

Response Required

The USPTO must receive applicant’s response to this notice within 30 days of the issue date below or the request to divide the application will be denied. Respond using the Trademark Electronic Application System (TEAS). A link to the appropriate TEAS response form appears at the end of this notice.

Issue date: February 26, 2020

The request to divide the application pursuant to 37 C.F.R. §2.87 filed on December 19, 2019 cannot be processed. A request to divide a Section 1(b) intent-to-use application may be filed when some but not all the goods and/or services and/or collective membership organization stated in the notice of allowance are in use in commerce and a statement of use has been filed for those goods and/or services and/or collective membership organization. 37 C.F.R. §2.88(c); TMEP §1110.01. The goods and/or services and/or collective membership organization that are in use in commerce are then divided into a new application, such that the new application will contain those goods and/or services and/or collective membership organization that are in use in commerce and proceed toward registration. The existing application will contain those goods and/or services and/or collective membership organization that will remain as Section 1(b) intent-to-use and for which a statement of use will be required in due course.

In the present case, a statement of use was filed on December 19, 2019 for all the services stated in the notice of allowance. As a result, no services remain that are not yet in use in commerce and for which a statement of use is required. Therefore, applicant’s request to divide will not be processed and the fees refunded in due course. If the applicant seeks to clarify the reason for filing the request to divide or intends for the Office to process the request to divide, applicant has thirty (30) days from the issuance date of this letter to respond to this letter.

If no response is received, the statement of use will be processed and forwarded to the examining attorney for review.
