Dear Ms. Butchko,

 

Hello  My name is Erin and I am the trademark examining attorney with the United States Patent & Trademark Office that has been assigned to the above-referenced case.  During the course of my initial review there are a few issues I would like to try and handle with you informally, via Examiner’s Amendment if possible. 

 

Significance of the Mark – Inquiry

 

To permit proper examination of the application, applicant must provide all the following information:

 

(1)  Explain whether the wording/letters in the mark “FS” has any meaning or significance in the trade or industry in which applicant’s goods and/or services are manufactured or provided, any meaning or significance as applied to applicant’s goods and/or services, or if such wording is a term of art within applicant’s industry. 

 

(2)  Respond to the following questions:    Is “Auto” an intended abbreviation for “AUTOGRAFT” or “AUTOMATIC” as used in connection with the applied-for goods?  Is any automatic element or property  created by injecting the biological materials into the joint or repair with respect to the bone repair, bone fusion or bone growth?

 

If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out. Otherwise, I look forward to hearing from you as soon as is possible but not later than end of the day Thursday, March 28, 2019. If you will not be able to provide the requisite information/authorization by this deadline, I would appreciate it if you could let me know so that I may issue a Priority Action in connection with this file, in which you will have six months to formally respond.

Thank you and I look forward to hearing from you.

Best,

Erin
