Issue date: June 25, 2020
This Office action is in response to applicant’s communication filed on June 15, 2020.
This Office Action is supplemental to the previous Office action issued on December 13, 2019 in connection with this application. Based on information and/or documentation in applicant’s response, the trademark examining attorney now issues the following new requirement:
- Supplement Register Refusal. See TMEP §§706, 711.02.
In a previous Office action(s) dated December 13, 2019, the trademark examining attorney refused registration of the applied-for mark based on the following:
- Trademark Act Section 2(e)(1) Refusal;
See TMEP §§713.02, 714.04.
The following is a SUMMARY OF ISSUES that applicant must address:
• NEW ISSUE: SUPPLEMENTAL REGISTER REFUSAL
• CONTINUED AND MAINTAINED: SECTION 2(e)(1) REFUSAL
Applicant must respond to all issues raised in this Office action and the previous December 13, 2019 Office action, within six (6) months of the date of issuance of this Office action. 37 C.F.R. §2.62(a); see TMEP §711.02. If applicant does not respond within this time limit, the application will be abandoned. 37 C.F.R. §2.65(a).
This refusal will be withdrawn if applicant (1) deletes the amendment to the Supplemental Register, or (2) submits an amendment to allege use that meets the requirements of 37 C.F.R. §2.76(b), (c). See TMEP §§815.02, 1102.03.
If applicant maintains the amendment to the Supplemental Register and provides an acceptable amendment to allege use, the effective filing date of the application will be the date on which applicant met the minimum filing requirements of 37 C.F.R. §2.76(c) for the amendment to allege use. 37 C.F.R. §2.75(b); TMEP §§816.02, 1102.03. In addition, the undersigned trademark examining attorney will conduct a new search of the USPTO records for conflicting marks based on the later application filing date. TMEP §§206.01, 1102.03.
