This email is intended for Mr. William Patterson and/or any authorized party

 

United States Trademark Application Serial No. 88367253 / Docket No. GEOD/T048US

 

Dear Mr. Patterson,

 

I am the assigned trademark examining attorney for the above-referenced application.  As of now there are two outstanding issues with the application:

 

1)      Disclaimer Required

 

A disclaimer of the word “COMPLETIONS” is required. For clarification about what a “disclaimer” means: This wording is descriptive of the applied-for services in your application.  An applicant may not claim exclusive rights to terms or designs that others may need to use to describe or show their services in the marketplace.  A disclaimer does not affect the appearance of the mark; that is, a disclaimer does not physically remove the disclaimed matter from the mark. For additional information, please see http://www.gov.uspto.report/trademark/laws-regulations/how-satisfy-disclaimer-requirement

 

2)       Amendment to Identification of Services Required – The identification of services must be modified for improved clarity and definiteness in order to meet USPTO requirements.

 

If the changes below are acceptable, I will issue an examiner's amendment and move the application towards publication accordingly:

 

Disclaimer

 

The following disclaimer statement is added to the record:

 

               No claim is made to the exclusive right to use “COMPLETIONS” apart from the mark as shown.

 

Identification of Services

 

The identification of goods is amended to read as follows:  “Product design services related to oil and gas well completion and stimulation.”  See TMEP §§1402.01, 1402.01(e).

 

Please let me know at your earliest convenience how you would like to proceed or if you have any questions about the application. I will need to act on this file within the next couple of business days.

 

Thank you!
