The owner requests a six-month extension of time to file the Statement of Use under 37 C.F.R. Section 2.89 in this application.    The Notice of Allowance mailing date was 07/09/2019.

For International Class 001:
Current identification: Rheological additives, namely, rheological clay for use in the manufacture of cosmetics

For a trademark/service mark: The applicant has a continued bona fide intention, and is entitled, to use the mark in commerce on or in connection with all of the goods/services listed in the Notice of Allowance or as subsequently modified for this specific class; for a collective/certification mark: the applicant has a continued bona fide intention, and is entitled, to exercise legitimate control over the use of the mark in commerce on or in connection with the goods/services/collective membership organization listed in the Notice of Allowance, or as subsequently modified for this specific class.


This is the second extension request. The applicant has made the following ongoing efforts to use the mark in commerce on or in connection with each of those goods/services covered by the extension request: The applicant believes that it has made valid use of the mark in commerce, and is concurrently filing a Statement of Use (SOU), but, if the USPTO finds the SOU to be defective, the applicant will need additional time to file a new SOU.

A Statement of Use has already been submitted or is being submitted along with the Extension request as evidence that applicant believes that it has made valid use of the mark in commerce.   If the USPTO finds the Statement of Use to be fatally defective, the applicant requests additional time to file an amended or substitute Statement of Use.
