Hi Ms. Brown,

 

I am the examining attorney for trademark application Serial No. 88387934 HARLEY.  I have received the submitted SOU, however, I cannot accept it as it shows ornamental use rather than use as a source indicator.

 

I am writing to see if you would like to claim your prior Registration No. 4955539 HARLEY via Examiner’s amendment which may suffice to show secondary source under TMEP Section 1202.03(c):

 

To show that a proposed mark that is used on the goods in a decorative or ornamental manner also serves a source-indicating function, the applicant may submit evidence that the proposed mark would be recognized as a mark through its use with goods or services other than those being refused as ornamental. To show secondary source, the applicant may show: (1) ownership of a U.S. registration on the Principal Register of the same mark for other goods or services based on use in commerce under §1 of the Trademark Act.

 

If you would like to claim your prior registration (Reg. No. 4955539 HARLEY) via Examiner’s Amendment, please e-mail me back by TOMORROW 5:00 PM EST, APRIL 30^TH, 2020.  If I do not hear from you by then, I will issue an Office action with the ornamental refusal.

 

All my best,

 

Kimberly C. Arriola
