FINAL OFFICE ACTION
The USPTO must receive applicant’s response to this letter within six months of the issue date below or the application will be abandoned. Respond using the Trademark Electronic Application System (TEAS) and/or Electronic System for Trademark Trials and Appeals (ESTTA). A link to the appropriate TEAS response form and/or to ESTTA for an appeal appears at the end of this Office action.
Issue date: February 06, 2020
This Office action is in response to applicant’s Petition to Revive, filed on December 28, 2019.
In a previous Office action, dated June 7, 2019, applicant was required to amend the identification of goods and services.
Based on applicant’s response, applicant acceptably amended the goods in Class 6 and added Class 40. However, the identification of services in Class 40 is indefinite. Therefore, the requirement for clarification of the identification is maintained and made final. See TMEP §§713.02, 714.04.
