EXAMINER’S AMENDMENT

 

 

Issue date:  July 02, 2020

 

PARTIAL ABANDONMENT – APPLICATION HAS BEEN AMENDED

 

The above-referenced application is partially abandoned because applicant did not file a notice of appeal to the Trademark Trial and Appeal Board within six months from the date of issuance of the final Office action, and there is no time remaining in the six-month period.  See 15 U.S.C. §1062(b); 37 C.F.R. §§2.65(a)-(a)(1), 2.142(a); TMEP §§715.01, 718.02(a). 

 

The final Office action dated December 30, 2019 included refusal(s) and/or requirement(s) that applied to only a portion of the application, which were maintained in a subsequent Office action denying applicant’s request for reconsideration; therefore, only that portion of the application is abandoned.  See 15 U.S.C. §1062(b); 37 C.F.R. §2.65(a)(1); TMEP §718.02(a). 

 

The following portion of the identification that was the subject of the refusal(s) and/or requirement(s) will be deleted from the application: “Electronic cables; Electronic components for computers; Blank electronic storage media; Electronic memories” in International Class 009.

 

The application will proceed with the following identification:

Applicant may respond by filing a petition to the Director to request a reversal of the decision to abandon the application in part.  TMEP §§715.03(a)(ii)(D), 718.02(a), 1713.01; see 37 C.F.R. §2.146(a)(3).  However, the Director will reverse the decision only if there is clear error or an abuse of discretion.  In re GTE Educ. Servs., 34 USPQ2d 1478, 1479-80 (Comm’r Pats. 1994); TMEP §§715.03(a)(ii)(D), 1713.01.  The petition must be filed using the Trademark Electronic Application System (TEAS) Petition to the Director form with the required fee.  See 37 C.F.R. §§2.23(a), 2.146(c).

Direct questions about navigating USPTO electronic forms, the USPTO website, the application process, the status of your application, and/or whether there are outstanding deadlines or documents related to your file to the Trademark Assistance Center (TAC).

 

 

 

GENERAL GUIDANCE

·         Check the status of your application periodically in the Trademark Status & Document Retrieval (TSDR) database to avoid missing critical deadlines.

 

·         Update your correspondence email address, if needed, to ensure you receive important USPTO notices about your application.

 

·         Beware of misleading notices sent by private companies about your application.  Private companies not associated with the USPTO use public information available in trademark registrations to mail and email trademark-related offers and notices – most of which require fees.  All official USPTO correspondence will only be emailed from the domain “@uspto.gov.”
