EXAMINER’S AMENDMENT

 

 

Issue date:  October 23, 2019

 

In a previous Office Action dated March 29, 2019, the examining attorney refused registration under Section 2(d) for a likelihood of confusion with U.S. Registration No. 3896310 in International Class 9 only. The examining attorney also required that applicant amend the identification of goods and services. Applicant submitted a response on September 25, 2019. The refusal under Section 2(d) is hereby satisfied. Applicant also amended the identification of goods and services, however upon further review, further amendment was required.

 

Application has been amended as shown below.  As agreed to by Ms. Shannon M. Nolley, qualified practitioner at Gesmer Updegrove LLP, on October 23, 2019, the examining attorney has amended the application as shown below.  Please notify the examining attorney immediately of any objections.  TMEP §707.  Otherwise, no response is required.  Id.  In addition, applicant is advised that amendments to the goods and/or services are permitted only if they clarify or limit them; amendments that add to or broaden the scope of the goods and/or services are not permitted.  37 C.F.R. §2.71(a).

 

IDENTIFICATION OF GOODS AMENDED

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.”
