COMBINED EXAMINER’S AMENDMENT/PRIORITY ACTION NONFINAL 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). A link to the appropriate TEAS response form appears at the end of this Office action.
Issue date: March 03, 2020
USPTO database searched; no conflicting marks found. The trademark examining attorney searched the USPTO database of registered and pending marks and found no conflicting marks that would bar registration under Trademark Act Section 2(d). 15 U.S.C. §1052(d); TMEP §704.02.
Applicant must address issues shown below. On March 3, 2020, the examining attorney and Paul Gluchanicz discussed the fee requirement below. Applicant must timely respond to this requirement. See 15 U.S.C. §1062(b); 37 C.F.R. §2.62(a); TMEP §708.05.
Requirement – Fee
The application identifies goods that are classified in two classes; however, applicant submitted a fee sufficient for only one class. In a multiple-class application, a fee for each class is required. 37 C.F.R. §2.86(a)(2), (b)(2); TMEP §§810.01, 1403.01. For more information about adding classes to an application, see the Multiple-class Application webpage.
Therefore, applicant must either (1) restrict the application to the number of classes covered by the fees already paid, or (2) submit the fees for each additional class.
The USPTO changed the federal trademark rules to eliminate the TEAS RF application, which is now considered a “TEAS Standard” application. See 37 C.F.R. §2.6(a)(iii). The fee for adding classes to a TEAS Standard application is $275 per class. See id. For more information about these changes, see the Mandatory Electronic Filing webpage.
Application has been amended as shown below. As agreed to by the individual identified in the Priority Action section, the examining attorney has amended the application as shown below. Please notify the examining attorney immediately of any objections. TMEP §707. In addition, applicant is advised that amendments to the goods and/or services are permitted only if they clarify or limit them; amendments that add to or broaden the scope of the goods and/or services are not permitted. 37 C.F.R. §2.71(a).
The identification and classification of goods is amended to read as follows:
International Class 003: Electronic cigarette liquid comprised of essential oils made from hemp comprised of no more than .3% THC on a dry weight basis.
International Class 034: Smoking and vaping preparations in the nature of eliquids comprised of flavorings, other than essential oils, and being derived from hemp and having no more than .3% THC on a dry weight basis.
See TMEP §§1402.01, 1402.01(e).
