FORM TEXT
Applicant is in receipt of the NOTICE THAT REQUEST FOR EXTENSION OF TIME TO FILE A STATEMENT OF USE (EXTENSION REQUEST) IS INCOMPLETE, issued September 11, 2020, with respect to the Statement of Use filed for the instant application for the NCC trademark.  

As grounds for the Office Action, the Paralegal Specialist found that the insurance extension filed has failed to contain the requisite good cause statement for an Extension.  Specifically, Applicant's citation to the provisions of TMEP 1108.03 "Insurance Extension" are deemed to not provide the specific good cause grounds required.  

To supplement and amend the filing, Applicant now includes the specific statement as set forth in TMEP 1108.03 (rather than the shorthand reference originally provided), by asserting that "Applicant believes that valid use of the mark in commerce has been made, as evidenced by the statement of use, but that if the statement of use is found to be fatally defective, the applicant will need additional time to correct defects or file a substitute statement of use". 37 C.F.R. Sec. 2.89(e)(2); TMEP Sec. 1108.02(f).  As set forth in the TMEP,  asserting such statement shall satisfy the requirements of the USPTO.

Finally, to the extent this Supplement shall require a sworn statement by a representative of the Applicant, Applicant maintains that it has a continued bona fide intention to use the mark in commerce on or in connection with all the goods/services in the notice of allowance or as subsequently modified, or 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 all the goods/services/collective membership organization under Section 1(b) in the notice of allowance or as subsequently modified.  The signatory being warned that willful false statements and the like are punishable by fine or imprisonment, or both, under 18 U.S.C. §1001, and that such willful false statements and the like may jeopardize the validity of the application or submission or any resulting registration, declares that all statements made of his/her own knowledge are true and that all statements made on information and belief are believed to be true.
