Office Action (Official Letter) About Applicant’s Trademark Application

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 12/24/2019.  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 will be deleted from the application.  The application will proceed with the following identification:  Clothing, namely, tops and headwear; Hoodies in International Class 25.  

If applicant’s failure to respond was unintentional, applicant may file a petition to revive the portion of the application that abandoned.  TMEP §§718.02(a), 1714.01(d).  The petition must be filed within two months of the issue date of this letter using the Trademark Electronic Application System (TEAS) Petition to the Director form with the required fee.  See 37 C.F.R. §§2.23(a), 2.66(a); TMEP §§718.02(a), 1714.01(a), (d).  Once the petition is filed, notify the Petitions Office at 571-272-8950 that a petition to revive a partially-abandoned application was filed, specifying the application serial number.

Direct questions about navigating USPTO electronic forms, the USPTO website, the application process, the status of your application, and/or whether there are outstanding deadlines or documents related to your file to the Trademark Assistance Center (TAC).

GENERAL GUIDANCE

·       Check the status of your application periodically in the Trademark Status & Document Retrieval (TSDR) database to avoid missing critical deadlines.

·       Update your correspondence email address, if needed, to ensure you receive important USPTO notices about your application.

·       Beware of misleading notices sent by private companies about your application.  Private companies not associated with the USPTO use public information available in trademark registrations to mail and email trademark-related offers and notices – most of which require fees.  All official USPTO correspondence will only be emailed from the domain “@uspto.gov.”
