EXAMINER’S AMENDMENT

 

ISSUE/MAILING DATE: 6/3/2019

 

INTRODUCTION

 

This Examiner’s Amendment is supplemental to and supersedes the previous Examiner’s Amendment issued on May 28, 2019 in connection with this application.  The assigned trademark examining attorney inadvertently omitted a requirement relevant to the mark in the subject application.  See TMEP §§706, 711.02.  Specifically, the trademark examining attorney omitted a requirement to amend the certification statement.

 

The trademark examining attorney apologizes for any inconvenience caused by the delay in raising this issue.

 

The amendment of the application, as described below, obviates this requirement.

WARNING

 

PRIVATE COMPANY SOLICITATIONS REGARDING YOUR APPLICATION:  Private companies not associated with the USPTO are using information provided in trademark applications to mail or e-mail trademark-related solicitations.  These companies often use names that closely resemble the USPTO and their solicitations may look like an official government document.  Many solicitations require that you pay “fees.” 

 

Please carefully review all correspondence you receive regarding this application to make sure that you are responding to an official document from the USPTO rather than a private company solicitation.  All official USPTO correspondence will be mailed only from the “United States Patent and Trademark Office” in Alexandria, VA; or sent by e-mail from the domain “@uspto.gov.”  For more information on how to handle private company solicitations, see http://www.gov.uspto.report/trademarks/solicitation_warnings.jsp.
