REQUEST FOR RECONSIDERATION
AFTER FINAL ACTION
DENIED
Issue date: March 20, 2020
Specifically, the applied-for mark was refused registration because applicant failed to show the applied-for mark in use in commerce. Applicant responded by providing substitute specimens which were similarly unacceptable. Now, applicant has responded by providing two webpages showing the applied-for mark on a plug adapter and a handset. As explained in previous Office actions, the handset is not among the goods listed in applicant’s identification of goods. Moreover, the webpage showing the plug adapter is not an acceptable webpage display because it does not include a way to order the goods. Further, the images of the plug adapter within the webpage are unacceptable for the same reasons described in previous Office actions where the same images were refused. Thus, the new specimens are unacceptable.
Applicant was also required to provide information about the specimens. Applicant did not provide all of the requested information.
Accordingly, the following requirement(s) and/or refusal(s) made final in the Office action dated November 25, 2019, are maintained and continued:
• Specimen Refused
• Information About Specimen Required
See TMEP §§715.03(a)(ii)(B), 715.04(a).
If applicant has already filed an appeal with the Trademark Trial and Appeal Board, the Board will be notified to resume the appeal. See TMEP §715.04(a).
If applicant has not filed an appeal and time remains in the six-month response period, applicant has the remainder of that time to (1) file another request for reconsideration that complies with and/or overcomes any outstanding final requirement(s) and/or refusal(s), and/or (2) file a notice of appeal to the Board. TMEP §715.03(a)(ii)(B). Filing a request for reconsideration does not stay or extend the time for filing an appeal. 37 C.F.R. §2.63(b)(3); see TMEP §715.03(c).
