Your petition to the Director to allow consideration of an amendment to the basis after publication was received on December 6, 2019.  The United States Patent and Trademark Office is unable to process the petition at this time because the application abandoned on January 13, 2020. 

 

Petition to Revive Abandoned Application

 

In order to move forward with granting the amendment to the basis in the application, you must first meet the requirements for filing a petition to revive pursuant to Trademark Rule 2.66. 

A complete petition to revive includes the following:

 

1.         A non-refundable petition fee is required.  The petition fee is $100 if submitted electronically through the Trademark Electronic Application System (TEAS) or $200 if submitted on paper.  37 C.F.R. §2.6(a)(15).  You are encouraged to use the “Petition to Revive” online form available at http://teas.gov.uspto.report/pse/

 

2.         A written statement signed by someone with first-hand knowledge of the facts that the delay in filing a first request for extension of time to file a statement of use (extension request) was unintentional must be submitted. TMEP §1714.01(e).

 

3.         A first extension request including the fee must be submitted.  The extension request fee is $125 per class, if submitted electronically through the Trademark Electronic Application System (TEAS) or $225 per class, if submitted on paper.  37 C.F.R. §2.6.

 

Filing a petition does not stay the time for filing a statement of use (SOU) after issuance of the notice of allowance (NOA).  Petitioner must file a SOU or an extension request when due or the application will be abandoned. 15 U.S.C. §1051(d)(4); 37 C.F.R. §§2.65(c), 2.88(h), and 2.89(g).
