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: July 23, 2019
The referenced application has been reviewed by the assigned trademark examining attorney. Applicant must respond timely and completely to the issue(s) below. 15 U.S.C. §1062(b); 37 C.F.R. §§2.62(a), 2.65(a); TMEP §§711, 718.03.
Database Search. The trademark examining attorney has searched the Office’s database of registered and pending marks and has found no conflicting marks that would bar registration under Trademark Act Section 2(d). TMEP §704.02; see 15 U.S.C. §1052(d).
REQUIREMENT FOR ADDITIONAL SPECIMENS
Given the wide range of goods identified in the application, and the nature of the specimens of record, the examining attorney requires additional specimens of use in this case to allow for a complete and accurate examination, and to assess the registrability of the applied-for mark. 37 C.F.R. §§2.56(a), 2.61(b), 2.86(a)(3); TMEP §§814, 904.01(a), 1402.03.
The applicant must provide at least one specimen from each of the following groups of goods:
That is, the applicant is expected to provide at least 6 different specimens showing at least one good from each grouping noted above.
If applicant is unable to provide specimens to support use of one or more categories of goods, the applicant must delete these entries, or amend the filing basis for those goods that were not in use as of the application filing date to an intent to use basis under Section 1(b). This option will later necessitate additional fees and filing requirements such as providing a specimen for these goods at a subsequent date.
Failure to provide the required additional specimens is grounds for refusing registration. In re Harley, 119 USPQ2d 1755, 1757-58 (TTAB 2016); TMEP §814.
Response guidelines. For this application to proceed, applicant must explicitly address each refusal and/or requirement in this Office action. For a refusal, applicant may provide written arguments and evidence against the refusal, and may have other response options if specified above. For a requirement, applicant should set forth the changes or statements. Please see “Responding to Office Actions” and the informational video “Response to Office Action” for more information and tips on responding.

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.
