37 C.F.R. §2.87; see TMEP §§1110 et seq.

The examining attorney will be notified of the completed request to divide. Please note that the filing of a request to divide an application is not considered a proper response to an examining attorney’s Office action and does not relieve an applicant of the duty to respond to any outstanding Office action or to take any other required action. 37 C.F.R. §2.87(e); TMEP §1110.05.

The USPTO proposes to change federal trademark rules to require applicants and registrants to (1) file submissions concerning applications and registrations online using the USPTO’s Trademark Electronic Application System (TEAS) and (2) provide and maintain an accurate email address for receiving correspondence from the USPTO. See the Mandatory Electronic Filing Rules webpage for more information.

TEAS PLUS OR TEAS REDUCED FEE (TEAS RF) APPLICANTS – TO MAINTAIN LOWER FEE, ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS MUST BE MET, INCLUDING SUBMITTING DOCUMENTS ONLINE: Applicants who filed their application online using the lower-fee TEAS Plus or TEAS RF application form must (1) file certain documents online using TEAS, including responses to Office actions (see TMEP §§819.02(b), 820.02(b) for a complete list of these documents); (2) maintain a valid e-mail correspondence address; and (3) agree to receive correspondence from the USPTO by e-mail throughout the prosecution of the application. See 37 C.F.R. §§2.22(b), 2.23(b); TMEP §§819, 820. TEAS Plus or TEAS RF applicants who do not meet these requirements must submit an additional processing fee of $125 per class of goods and/or services. 37 C.F.R. §§2.6(a)(1)(v), 2.22(c), 2.23(c); TMEP §§819.04, 820.04. However, in certain situations, TEAS Plus or TEAS RF applicants may respond to an Office action by authorizing an examiner’s amendment by telephone or e-mail without incurring this additional fee.

USPTO Official Notice

Office action (Official Letter) or Notice has issued
on 01/16/2020 for
U.S.Trademark Application Serial No. 88382947

Your trademark document has been reviewed by an Intent-to-use staff member. As part of that review, the assigned staff member has issued you an official letter or notice. If a response is required, you must respond by the specified deadline or your application will be abandoned. Please follow the steps below.

(1) Read the official letter or notice.

(2) Direct questions about the contents of the official letter or notice to the assigned staff member identified in the letter. 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).

(3) Response may be required. Carefully review the Office action to determine (1) if a response is required, (2) the applicable response time period, and (3) how to respond using the Trademark Electronic Application System (TEAS). The response must be received by the USPTO before midnight Eastern Time of the last day of the response period.

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 often use public information provided in USPTO trademark applications to mail and email trademark-related offers and notices-most of which require fees. These companies often have names similar to the USPTO. All official USPTO correspondence will only be emailed from the domain "@uspto.gov." For a current list of companies the USPTO has received complaints about, information on how to identify these offers and notices, and what to do if you receive one, see the misleading notices webpage.
